Homicides reported in Dolton and Posen

Park Forest police arrest man in November killing

Three people were shot, one fatally, Sunday afternoon in Dolton, according to village trustee and community activist Andrew Holmes.

Also, Cook County sheriff’s police said they are investigating the shooting death of a 27-year-old Peotone man that occurred near Posen.

And Park Forest police said Monday an Orland Park man has been charged with murder in the Nov. 6 shooting death of a Crete man inside a Park Forest home.

The Dolton shooting occurred at 4 p.m. Sunday at 147th Street and Blackstone Avenue, near a village park, according to Holmes.

Police were hoping to interview the two who were hospitalized, one of whom was initially listed in critical condition, Holmes said. He said the person who died was a young male, but that he had no other information about him.

“Some mother had to get informed about the loss of her son on Mother’s Day,” Holmes said.

Information about the victim was not available from the Cook County medical examiner’s office, as the person’s family had not yet been notified, according to a spokeswoman. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday.

A medical examiner ledger indicated the person died at the University of Chicago Medical Center in Chicago.

Dolton police did not respond to messages Monday seeking information about the shootings.

The medical examiner’s office also reported the shooting death Friday of Marshaun Duncan, of the 500 block of Howard Street in Peotone.

He suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene at 8:15 p.m., with his death ruled a homicide, according to the office.

The shooting occurred at the 147th Street exit of Interstate 57
