Robbins police hope to review surveillan­ce camera images as part of an investigat­ion into a double homicide that left a 22-year-old Alsip man and 20-year-old Harvey woman dead from gunshot wounds.

Police responded shortly after 1 a.m. Nov. 23 to an address in the 13900 block of South Central Park Avenue and found the man at the rear of a vehicle in the street suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and the woman, also shot, in the car’s passenger seat, according to Sean Howard, a village spokesman.

Both were taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, with the man’s death reported at shortly after 5 a.m. followed by the woman at 7:45 a.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Names of the two victims were not immediatel­y available from the medical examiner, which reported that the man died from multiple gunshot wounds and the woman from a gunshot wound to the head. Both deaths were ruled homicides.

Police are interviewi­ng witnesses and attempting to find out if any homes along the block have doorbell cameras that may have captured images that will aid in the investigat­ion, Howard said.

He said it is not yet clear if the shots were fired from another vehicle and that police are processing the vehicle, which was parked outside on the street where the shooting took place.

In Dolton, Lyndon Donaldson, 31, of Chicago, was pronounced dead shortly after 1 a.m. Friday following a shooting in the 14800 block of Woodlawn Avenue, according to the medical examiner.

Donaldson suffered multiple gunshot wounds and his death was ruled a homicide, according to the medical examiner.

Separately, a 21-yearold Hazel Crest man was pronounced dead at 11:59 p.m. Friday, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in what the medical examiner ruled a homicide.

The shooting took place in the 13800 block of Cottage Grove Avenue in Dolton, and the man’s death was ruled a homicide as a result of multiple gunshot wounds, but his identity was not immediatel­y available.

Dolton police did not respond to a request for additional details.
