EVANSTON, IL — A fourth suspect believed to be involved in an April shooting at a Howard Street business.

At 6:08 p.m. on April 21, police responded to the 700 block of Howard Street after receiving emergency calls reporting gunshots. Officers later found a man nearby with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound in his arm near Main Street and Elmwood Avenue.
