MATTESON, IL — A man was shot and killed at a Matteson Amazon facility late Sunday, the Village of Matteson said.

Amazon told Patch the employee was employed by a third-party vendor, and not employed by Amazon.

The Village said officers rendered aid to the employee, and he was taken to St. James Hospital, where he died from his injuries.

The employee victim has been identified by the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office as Dylan Perkins, 26, of Glenwood.

According to the Village's statement, an argument between the victim employee and a food delivery driver turned into a "physical altercation." The offender shot the victim several times.

The entire incident took place in the parking lot outside the facility, the Village said.

Detectives from the Matteson Police Department continue to investigate the incident and will work with South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force to identify and charge the offender.

"This is an isolated incident and there is no threat to the public," the Village said.

A man was also shot and killed during a "personal dispute" earlier this month at an Amazon facility in Melrose Park. In that incident, a 20-year-old man was charged with first-degree murder.
