Crestwood Man On Life Support After Being Caught In Gun Crossfire

ROBBINS, IL -- A Crestwood father of three is on life support after he was apparently caught in gun crossfire driving through Robbins on his way to a soccer club board meeting, sources told Patch. Cook County Sheriff’s police are investigating the shooting that happened early Wednesday evening. Another driver was also shot and both are believed to be innocent victims who were in the wrong place and the wrong time.

The critically injured man has been identified as 56-year-old Bill Dolehide, a well known coach at the Crestwood Soccer Club. Dolehide has been declared brain-dead and is on life support at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn. Dolehide was pronounced brain dead on Thursday. His family, who is at his bedside, has requested that Dolehide’s organs be donated.

Dolehide was driving through Robbins down 135th Street toward Crestwood around 6 p.m. Wednesday when shots rang out. Dolehide was shot in the head. The other driver, a 51-year-old Orland Park man, suffered a non-threatening gunshot wound to the leg. Dolehide was found critically wounded at 135th Street and St. Louis Avenue. The Orland Park man was found about a mile away at 135th Street and Pulaski. No one was in custody as of Friday.

The Crestwood Soccer Club said in a Facebook post that Dolehide served as vice president of the club and worked tirelessly behind the scenes doing "everything else that needed to be done."

Family friend and attorney John Toscas told ABC Chicago 7 that Dolehide was a popular and respected coach at the Crestwood Soccer Club.

“He would do anything you asked him to do, he was there early to help," Toscas said. "This is beyond disbelief."

Anyone with information about the shooting is urged to call the Cook County Sheriff's Police Detective Division at 708-865-4896.
