Illinois Self-Defense: Man shot, killed after Gage Park burglary :: 07/12/2018

A man was fatally shot while trying to break into a home Tuesday night in the Gage Park neighborhood on the South Side, police said.

The man, thought to be in his 40s, was trying to break into a home in the 5700 block of South California when he was shot by a resident, according to Chicago Police. He then ran away.

Officers responding to a call for the burglary at 10:17 p.m. arrived to find the man lying in the backyard with a gunshot wound to the neck, police said. He was taken to Christ Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

The man, who has not been identified, died of a gunshot wound to the head and his death was ruled a homicide, the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office said following an autopsy Wednesday.

Area Central detectives were investigating.
