London police are searching for five suspects after a man was shot in a car early Wednesday evening in the city’s southwest suburbs.
According to investigators, police responded to an “altercation” around 6 p.m. in a parking lot on the southeast corner of Wonderland Road South near Teeple Terrace.
During the incident, according to police, a man sitting in a red Porsche was shot. Officers were initially told that two to three black males were seen fleeing the area before getting into a dark sedan, later determined to be a dark blue Acura. The car was last seen heading north across the lot towards Teeple Terrace.
The man was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. As of Thursday morning, he was in good condition, police said.
Late Thursday afternoon, investigators announced that five suspects were present at the scene prior to the shooting. Police say four of them approached the victim’s Porsche while the fifth remained in the Acura.
Police have released photos of four suspects and the vehicle involved and are hoping the public can help identify the men.
Descriptions of the suspects can be found below:
1. Male, black, slim build, wearing a dark blue Puma hooded sweatshirt, dark gray or black sweatpants and white shoes.
2. Caucasian male wearing a black Puma hooded sweatshirt, dark pants and a surgical mask.
3. Caucasian male wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and gray sweatpants.
4. A person wearing a blue windbreaker jacket and back, black pants, white shoes and wearing a white mask or face covering.
Anyone with information or those with dash cams who were traveling near the area at the time of the shooting are asked to check their footage for possible footage of the described suspects or suspect vehicle.
The London Police Department is asking anyone with footage containing suspected evidence to turn it over to investigators by calling 519-661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
