A suburban Chicago man chased down his stolen car with 2 teens inside, then shot them both

A suburban Chicago man chased down his stolen car with 2 teens inside, then shot them both, one fatally, after a struggle

Sgt. Chris Covelli said detectives Sunday were still trying to find out how the 35-year-old Round Lake Beach man — who had reported his 2012 Chevrolet sedan stolen from his Fairfield Road home Dec. 30 — spotted the car in Volo in the middle of the night. It wasn’t immediately clear whether he located it by coincidence, if he had a tracking system onboard or if he’d left some type of electronics in the car he could trace.

The 35-year-old, who is not being named because he has not been charged with a crime, called 911 when he and the two 17-year-old boys got into a confrontation and physical fight, Covelli said. When it was over, both teenagers were suffering from gunshot wounds.

“The caller was the 35-year-old, dispatchers could hear the physical altercation in the background,” Covelli wrote in an email.

One of the three was armed with a handgun, although detectives were not yet sure to whom the gun belonged, where he’d been carrying it or when or why he drew it. Covelli said it was too soon to say whether the gun owner had a firearm owner’s identification card or a concealed carry license.

“Sheriff’s detectives are working to determine this as well ...,” he said. “One would need a FOID card and possibly a CCL to legally possess the firearm. I can’t say at this time whether or not anyone involved possessed those.”

It wasn’t clear how the confrontation escalated.

...snip..

“Sheriff’s detectives are speaking to everyone involved who is still living. Nobody has been charged thus far,” he wrote in an email.

Not entirely clear what transpired, but I hope the vehicle owner has the required permits, a good lawyer, and legal insurance because this will be expensive even if there are no charges.

Either the car owner didn’t give a statement or the police are holding back details.

It stinks.
They should be giving him a bucket of attaboys, free ammo, and range time if the bastards are still alive.

I’d hold back details. The police statement should be something to the effect of “They effed around and found out.”

The 35-year-old, who is not being named because he has not been charged with a crime

In a sane world, it would be unthinkable that he'd be charged with a crime. In a world where DAs are sponsored by George Soros, it's predictable.

If there is only one survivor, it easier for everybody involved to keep their story straight.

No! I thought maybe they were having a seance for the non-living ones...

Or both, or they haven’t decided how to proceed. He’s in a county north of Chicago which has been turning blue. Same general area Kyle Rittenhouse is from.

"Sheriff’s detectives are speaking to everyone involved who is still living."

After that the detectives will attempt a seance to contact those involved who are not living

As soon as we know the races of those involved, then we will know how this will be handled judicially.

This is a true story. The events depicted took place in Illinois in 2021. At the request of the survivors, the names have been changed. Out of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred.

He was charged today with a 4th degree felony.
