Overview
- A 28-year-old man was shot to death at a Citgo in Dolton after a black Chrysler 300 pulled in and a front-seat passenger walked around the car and fired four shots into the driver’s window, officials said.
- A 21-year-old man was killed in a Logan Square drive-by when a white SUV pulled alongside his stopped car and someone inside fired, striking him in the back while his 48-year-old passenger was not hurt.
- Both attacks occurred on Tuesday and victims were taken to nearby trauma hospitals where they were later pronounced dead, according to police statements and local reports.
- Dolton police are being aided by the Illinois State Police and the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force while Chicago’s Area Five detectives are leading the Logan Square probe, and investigators reviewed security footage in the Dolton case.
- Authorities have not reported any arrests or publicly identified suspects in either case, a development that could lead to increased police patrols and a focus on surveillance and vehicle-tracing as the investigations continue.
