Investigators call the case isolated, with the motive still under review.

Overview

  • The shooting happened around 4:30 p.m. Friday in a utility room at the Dana Point Condominiums on East Central Road.
  • Police determined Juan Medina, 53, of Palatine, shot coworker Steven Weigensberg, 53, of Naperville, multiple times before turning the gun on himself.
