The man, 47, was outside the House of Blues, 329 N. Dearborn St., when two men asked him for money around 11:30 p.m., according to Chicago police.
One of the men punched the victim, and officers later found him unresponsive on the sidewalk with a head injury. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.
The attacker who punched the man is a male about 5-feet-11 to 6 feet tall with black hair wearing a black puffy jacket and black jeans, police said.
