A pizza delivery driver died Tuesday, one day after being shot in the head during an attempted robbery on Chicago's Northwest Side.
Abylbek Yzabekov was pronounced dead at 4:22 p.m. Tuesday at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. The 31-year-old, of the 5400 block of North East River Road, was shot early Monday morning during an apparent robbery, authorities said.
Yzabekov got out of his vehicle in the 5400 block of North East River Road at 12:24 a.m. to deliver a pizza while a friend waited in his car, police said.
Two males, one armed with a handgun, walked up to the car and announced a robbery as the delivery man was returning, police said. The armed male fired shots, striking him in the head.
Yzabekov was taken in critical condition to the hospital and later died. His friend was not injured.
The males ran off after the shooting without any money, police said. No one was in custody as of Wednesday morning.
