Justin Bell Obituary, Death;- A man was fatally shot on Saturday night following an attempted robbery at a Walmart parking lot in the suburbs, which concluded when one of the suspects accidentally shot his accomplice.
Officers received a call at approximately 7:50 p.m. to the location at 2500 W. 95th St., where a victim reported being approached by a silver Audi with three individuals inside. According to police, two men armed with handguns exited the vehicle and attempted to rob him; however, during the ensuing struggle, one of the assailants discharged his weapon multiple times, inadvertently hitting the other suspect.
