Shot in Kildare alley, man says
In what police are describing as a gang-related crime, a 34-year-old Berwyn man said he was shot in the right calf as he walked down an alley in the 4700 block of South Kildare at 10:30 p.m. Friday, May 11. The victim told police he was walking in the alley when he asked another man for a lighter. The other man reportedly replied, “You’re in the wrong area to be asking for a lighter, but I got something for you.” The man then reportedly walked to a gray Jeep, reached under a seat, grabbed a handgun, hollered a gang slogan and fired 5-6 shots at the victim before fleeing. The shooter was described as a Hispanic man age 18-19, about 5-foot-8 and 160 pounds, with a dark complexion and a “bald” hairstyle. After he was shot, the victim said he ran to 47th and Kolin, where he called a woman he knows. She drove to the site, picked up the victim and took him to his home. On Saturday morning, the victim told his mother he had been shot. She transported him to Loyola University Medical Center, where he was listed in good condition. While the victim was at the hospital, Berwyn Police officials said they would take him into custody for burglary and aggravated fleeing, in relation to an unrelated crime.
