The suspect remains at-large after a 19-year-old was fatally shot and another teen was injured at a suburban entertainment facility on Friday evening.
According to Romeoville police, officers were dispatched to the scene in the 400 block of South Weber Road after a reported shooting.
Police say that a verbal altercation resulted in gunfire, which left two people shot. One of the victims, a 19-year-old man, was taken to a Joliet hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
A 16-year-old was also shot, and their condition has since stabilized, police said.
The suspect has been identified by police as a Chicago resident, but he remains at-large.
The shooting led to an event cancellation as well, with Hot Wheels announcing that its “Legends Tour” stop Saturday morning at the Romeoville Walmart was postponed.
“The safety and well-being of the attendees and entrants of the Hot Wheels Legends Tour are of the utmost importance, so we are canceling Saturday’s event,” the company said in a statement.
