Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies and Libertyville Police Officers responded about 6:15 p.m., Tuesday June 13, 2023 to the Mobil gas station at Route 137 and Milwaukee Avenue, Libertyville, for a person who called 911 and reported he was shot. Libertyville Police Officers arrived at the scene and located a 32-year-old man of Cicero, with a gunshot wound to the leg. Libertyville Police Officers applied a tourniquet to the man’s wound to stop the bleeding, just prior to the arrival of paramedics.

The man was subsequently transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A preliminary investigation shows the man was in the area of Route 137 and O’Plaine Road near Libertyville. The victim believes he may have cut off the offender while driving. The victim and offender were traveling in vehicles in the same area. The offender became enraged after being cut off. The offender pulled alongside the victim’s vehicle as the two traveled westbound on Route 137. The offender produced a firearm and shot toward the victim at least one time. The victim was struck by the gunfire.

The victim drove a short distance further, pulled over, and called 911.

Lake County Sheriff’s detectives are currently investigating and reviewing video surveillance in the area.

Additional information about the offender and offender’s vehicle will be released as it is available.
