A murder suspect who shot at police has died after they returned fire while attempting to serve a warrant Tuesday afternoon in Beach Park.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office Warrants Team and U.S. Marshals were executing an arrest warrant around 12:30 p.m. in the 12500 block of West Beach Road.

Lake County Sheriff Spokesman Sgt. Christopher Covelli said that a 24-year-old man exited a vehicle in the driveway of a home and began shooting at officers with a pistol.

Officers returned fire and struck the man. They began CPR on the man and paramedics transported him to Vista Medical Center East in Waukegan where he was pronounced dead.

The man was a fugitive wanted for first-degree murder of an 18-year-old man in Zion in 2018.

Five ambulances responded to the scene. One of the officers involved suffered an arm injury and another needed an evaluation, Covelli said. Both were transported to a local hospital.
