An 18-year-old Lynwood man was shot multiple times outside an Evergreen Park Walmart Saturday, while in separate events a 56-year-old Lansing woman also died of a gunshot wound and a third shooting was reported in Harvey.
Justin Bell, 18, of Lynwood, was shot multiple times Saturday night outside the Walmart on 95th Street and Western Avenue in what police described as an attempted armed robbery gone wrong.
Three people pulled into the Walmart parking lot in a silver Audi, and two men with handguns, including Bell, got out and approached a third man in an attempted robbery, according to an Evergreen Park police news release. During the ensuing struggle, the other armed man fired multiple shots, striking Bell, the news release said.
The two then got back into the Audi and drove away, but about an hour after police first responded to the shots fired report, they learned Bell had been dropped off by a silver Audi at a Chicago hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to police.
The victim of the attempted armed robbery was uninjured, police said.
The remaining two occupants of the car have not yet been identified or found. The car is described as having temporary Illinois registration and damage to the front driver’s side. The Evergreen Park Police Department is asking anyone with information to call 708-422-2144.
The same Walmart was the site of another shooting last month, where two people were injured.
In Lansing, Loretta Davis, 56, of Lansing, was killed Thursday by a gunshot to the head, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
The shooting occurred on the 3400 block of North Manor Drive in Lansing, where Davis is listed as a resident.
A Lansing police sergeant said the investigation into shooting continues. He said that the department had some leads and some potential suspects.
In Harvey, 30-year-old Sean A. Boyd II, 30, whose address is unknown, was shot multiple times and killed on Honore Avenue, according to the medical examiner’s office. The Harvey Police Department had no additional information to provide.
