The identities of these victims have not yet been made public.
Nance is also wanted in connection with several other shootings.
Deputies said they were called to an apartment complex just before 4:30 p.m. Sunday and found a man bleeding from the head with an apparent gunshot wound. Deputies told WGN 9 the victim later died.
The victim was later identified as Toyosi Bakare, a 28-year-old from Nigeria who had lived in the United States for nearly three years, WGN 9 reported.
About 10 minutes before the shooting, a 42-year-old man was shot in the leg and suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

Authorities said the victims in Sunday's shooting were not connected and appeared to be random.
The license plate number of the vehicle authorities believe Nance was driving matches a vehicle found near the scenes of both shootings Sunday, authorities said.
Nance was accused of trying to shoot a woman multiple times about a year ago, according to Patch and court records. Police found the man near the home and arrested him after a brief struggle with officers.
