Man killed in shooting, rollover crash in Chicago suburb, officials say
OAK PARK, Ill. (CBS) — A man is dead after a shooting led to a crash, leaving a car flipped on its roof Friday morning in Oak Park, officials said.
Around 7 a.m. Oak Park police and fire departments were called to the 6300 block of Roosevelt Road for possible shots fired and a car crash.
The victim, identified as Scott Robinson, 34, of Chicago, was removed from the white 2013 Jaguar XJ with multiple gunshot wounds. The car appeared to hit a cement barricade and a tree.
He was taken to Loyola University Medical Center in critical condition and later died, according to the village.
