This is the second gun-related homicide in Oak Park this summer, and while law enforcement officials do not believe the incidents to be connected, the trend is nonetheless concerning.
“Any instance where gun violence results in the senseless loss of life is deeply troubling,” Interim Police Chief Shatonya Johnson said. “As was the case in the tragic incident earlier this summer, our detectives will work hard to identify the individual or individuals responsible for this shooting and bring them to justice.”
