The shooting happened about 10:40 p.m. in the 600 block of East 50th Place, Police News Affairs Officer Hector Alfaro said.
The boys were outside, talking with several people inside a van, when one of the van's occupants raised a handgun and started shooting, Alfaro said.
The 15-year-old was hit in the upper arm, and his condition was stabilized at University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital.
The 17-year-old was shot in the chest, Alfaro said. He died on the scene.
The shooting came less than five hours after three boys were shot in the Longwood Manor neighborhood, bringing to five the number of boys 17 or younger shot late Monday.
