Gunmen Burst Into Tinley Park Apartment, Menace Couple

Two gunmen—and a bespectacled woman with a shaved head—showed up at a Tinley Park couple’s apartment, possibly looking for a dead heroin addict.

A 40-year-old resident of the Sandalwood Drive apartment answered a knock at her door. She looked through the peephole, saw the woman with the shaved head and “assumed she was a neighbor, so she opened the door about an inch,” police said.

The woman with the shaved head “asked, ‘Where’s Donnie?’ and then two male offenders pushed the door open,” police said.

The resident reportedly later told police she does know a Donnie but he’s dead.

She “stated that Donnie Quinn was her deceased fiancé who died in October of a heroin overdose,” police said. She “stated that Donnie would drive to Harvey and Robbins to buy heroin from someone named Ricky. (She) stated that Donnie would drive to buy drugs with his friend. (She) stated that she did not want to give the friend’s name or contact information because she didn’t want to start any trouble.”

But the woman was already in trouble, as one of the gunmen pushed her against a wall and to the floor, then pointed a pistol at her and ordered her to stay down. She was later able to run off and call 911.

The woman’s boyfriend was in a bedroom when he heard the knock the door and had walked into the hall by the time the door slammed open. One of the housebreakers walked toward the boyfriend with his gun drawn and demanded, “‘Where’s the money? Give me the money!” police said. The boyfriend told him he had no money and the gunman clubbed him in the head with his pistol before running out the door.

The second gunman also fled despite the boyfriend’s attempt to grab hold of his hooded sweatshirt.

Two days later, the cops were back at the apartment, but this time the boyfriend was intoxicated, punching holes in the wall and had broken his girlfriend’s phone, police said.

The girlfriend wanted him out of the apartment but he “pleaded his case with (her), stating that he would just fall asleep and leave in the morning,” police said.

The girlfriend reportedly agreed not to pursue criminal charges if her boyfriend agreed to give her his cell phone for the night.
