Gunshots Hit Vehicle, Flossmoor PD Looking For Surveillance Video

FLOSSMOOR, IL — Flossmoor police are asking residents in a specific location to check any home surveillance footage to assist in narrowing down their search after a vehicle was hit by gunshots over the weekend.

Police were called Dec. 10 around 12:20 a.m., for shots fired at Governors Highway and Flossmoor Road. A resident in the 2500 block of Brumley Drive called police reporting that her son's vehicle had been shot at by someone in a gray or silver Infiniti Q50, as her son was driving north on Governors Highway near Homewood-Flossmoor High School, police said. The offender had reportedly been following the victim after he exited I-57 at 159th Street, police said.

The victim made it home and had pulled into his driveway, when the same car drove by firing additional gunshots at the victim's car, with the victim still inside, police said. The vehicle was hit several times, but the victim was not injured. The car from which the shots originated was last seen traveling northbound on Sterling Avenue. Several shell casings were recovered at the scene and will be sent to a laboratory for analysis, police said.

A canvass of the area was conducted by responding officers, and repeated subsequent follow-ups have been conducted in the area since Saturday.

Police are asking that anyone with surveillance footage in the area of Perth Avenue, Brumley Drive, Dundee Avenue and Sterling Avenue review their home video surveillance footage and contact police at 708-957-4500, with any footage of vehicles passing their homes between 12:15 a.m. to 12:25 a.m. or with any additional information regarding the incident.
