Police in suburban Matteson are searching for a pair of suspects they say shot a man twice and stole his vehicle on Tuesday afternoon.
According to authorities, the victim in the case told police he met a man and woman in Country Club Hills to sell them a 2013 Dodge Charger in a sale that was agreed to over the internet.
The individuals were test-driving the vehicle in Matteson when the man turned around to the victim, who was in the back seat. He then shot the man twice, and told him to get out of the vehicle. As the victim did so, the man shot him again before fleeing the scene.
The man was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to authorities.
