Overview
- Police say the shooting happened March 25 in North Lawndale when three masked people approached a 65-year-old man seated on his car and one fired, leaving the victim with a bullet lodged in his shoulder.
- Investigators recovered a 9mm handgun during an unrelated April 5 unlawful-possession arrest and prosecutors report ballistics matched that gun to shell casings from the March 25 scene.
- Cordale Carroll, 18, was arrested last Thursday on the Near West Side and charged with attempted murder and aggravated discharge of a firearm; a Cook County judge ordered him held after a detention hearing.
- Surveillance video cited by prosecutors allegedly shows three people at the scene and at times shows Carroll unmasked holding what appears to be a handgun, and police say they continue to search for the other two individuals.
- The victim is the father of former Dolton mayor Tiffany Henyard, who has thanked detectives; the case underscores local concerns about ambush-style West Side shootings and could lead to additional arrests if investigators identify the remaining suspects.
