A 29-year-old man was shot twice in Park City and four subjects were taken into custody after the suspect vehicle led police on a 115 mph police pursuit that ended in a crash into a house Saturday morning.
The Park City Police Department responded around 1:30 a.m. Saturday to the Colonial Park Apartments for a report of shots fired.
Park City Police Chief Kenneth Stoves said officers arrived and located a 29-year-old man who suffered two gunshot wounds.
The victim was transported by ambulance to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville where he underwent surgery for his injuries.
Officers were informed that a silver Chevy Impala that was driving in the area contained the offenders in the shooting, Stoves said.
A Park City police officer located and attempted to stop the vehicle but it fled the area at a high rate of speed.
Lake County Assistant State’s Attorney Lillian Lewis said the car ran a stop sign and traveled through another stop sign at a high rate of speed.
The Chevrolet disregarded four stop signs and two red lights during the chase.
The Chevrolet made its way to Green Bay Road while traveling in excess of 100 mph in 35 mph and 45 mph zones, Lewis said.
The vehicle reached speeds of 115 mph after making its way to Interstate 94 and traveling into Cook County.
Stoves said the Chevrolet eventually crashed through a guardrail into a home in the 4100 block of Kostner Avenue in Chicago.
Four subjects were taken into custody and three of them were transported to the Park City Police Department.
The fourth subject, who was a passenger, was transported to an area hospital for a complaint of neck pain. No injuries were reported to the occupants of the house.
The driver of the vehicle, 42-year-old Johnny B. Ingram, was charged with two counts of aggravated fleeing and eluding and transported to First Appearance Court at the Lake County Courthouse in Waukegan.
The three passengers were interviewed and released. Ingram remains held in custody pending a detention hearing.
The shooting still remains under investigation for charges, Lewis and Stoves said.
Anyone with information related to the shooting is asked to contact the Park City Police Department at 847-662-2135.
