According to a Cook County medical officer, a 61-year-old woman was shot dead last weekend in an Evanston IHOP parking lot near the end of a shooting.
Marta Torres is in the St. Francis Hospital deceased. She is the fourth person killed by a crime fight. According to police, the gunman Jason Nightengale, 32, was committed.
Police said Nightengale shot seven people in Chicago and Evanston before killing them by Evanston police officers. January 9th. The current circumstances of the other three wounded could not be confirmed on Sunday.
Chicago police officers said the rush began with Nightengale fatally shooting a 30-year-old man in a parking garage in the 5000 block of East End. The University of Chicago later identified that man as a Ph.D. student Yiran Fan.
Then, in an apartment complex about a block away, Nightishale, 46-year-old Aisha Nevell, better known as Aisha Johnson, who was manning the door in an apartment in East Hyde Park, shot dead, police said. He also shot a 77-year-old woman in the head while grabbing her post to the complex, according to police.
Nightengale went to an apartment building in the 5500 block of South East End and forcibly forced a man he knew to give his red Toyota to Nightengale, police said. He drove to the 9300 block of South Halsted and arrived at a convenience store around 3 p.m. He shot dead 20-year-old Anthony Faulkner, police said, and also shot an 81-year-old woman who was left in critical condition last Sunday.
An hour later, a 15-year-old girl was shot in the head while driving in a vehicle in the 10300 block of South Halsted Street with her mother. Brown said Nightengale was apparently also responsible for the shooting. This has left the girl in a critical condition since last Sunday.
At about 5:45 p.m., Evanston police responded to shots fired at the Evanston IHOP, where Torres was held hostage and then shot by Nightengale, police said. Nightengale then ran out of the restaurant and shot a gunman with Evanston officers in a nearby Dollar General parking lot, where he was killed.
In response to Torres’ death, local Evanston IHOP franchisee issued a statement saying he was “deeply saddened.”
“It was a senseless act of violence … It’s a heartbreaking situation and our thoughts are with me at the moment. Torres ‘family’, reads the statement.
Nightengale’s family told the Sun-Times he “fought some demons”. In the run-up to the shooting, the man also posted dozens of videos online in which he wavered over Satan, waving a gun and talking about killing random people.
