Police and the FBI worked together on Wednesday to capture an alleged gunman wanted for shooting another man twice at a home in Grayslake, officials announced.
The Grayslake Police Department and Grayslake Fire Protection District responded around 6:19 p.m. on January 30 to the 500 block of Lincoln Avenue in Grayslake for a report of a shooting.
Emergency crews arrived and found a man in his 30s shot in his hip and hand, Grayslake Battalion Fire Chief Jason Brooks said.
The man was conscious and was transported to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville in stable condition, Brooks said. No other injuries were reported.
Grayslake Chief Jeff Myhra said that the shooting occurred after an argument ensued between two individuals at the residence.
He said several shots were fired and the 31-year-old victim, who is from Chicago, was struck twice.
The victim’s injuries were not life-threatening, Myhra said, adding that the offender fled the scene before police arrived.
Myhra said the shooting was an “isolated incident” involving a fight between two individuals.
At least seven shell casings were marked as evidence at the front of the house near the sidewalk and street.
A bicycle was also seen lying down on its side by the front door of the home.
At least one bullet struck the back windshield of an SUV parked in the driveway.
Officers were seen canvassing the area and attempting to obtain surveillance video of the shooting from neighbors.
They were also processing evidence from inside the house.
The Grayslake Police Department announced Wednesday morning that it and the FBI worked together to make an arrest in the case.
Elo Owolide, 28, of Evanston, was charged with one count of aggravated battery by discharge of a firearm, a Class X felony.
An arrest warrant was issued for him on February 4.
Police detectives and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Violent Crime Task Force arrested Owolide on Wednesday on the outstanding warrant.
“The investigation remains ongoing. No additional details are being released at this time to protect the integrity of the case,” Myhra said.
