Suspect in shootout with police in Dolton could be connected to Chicago homicide, source says
DOLTON, Ill. -- A homicide suspect is in custody after a shootout with police in south suburban Dolton Saturday evening. The Civilian Office of Police Accountability was called to the scene in the 15200 block of South Meadow Lane in Dolton around 5:45 p.m. A police source tells CBS 2 that the man taken into custody could be connected to the shooting death of security guard Loyce Wright, who was killed in Austin Friday afternoon.
Multiple blocks were blocked off, and officers could be seen walking in tactical gear with rifles while shining lights on homes. A police helicopter was also circling above. Chicago Police say officers saw a wanted person and 'an exchange of gunfire ensued between the offender and officers on scene.' Three people could be seen in handcuffs on the scene. A suspect was taken into custody without further incident and a firearm was recovered, police say. No injuries were reported.
