Police in the Round Lake area are investigating two crime scenes late Wednesday night.
Police from Round Lake, Round Lake Beach, and Round Lake Park, and firefighters and paramedics from Round Lake Greater Fire Protection District responded about 8:29 p.m. to a report of a shooting victim that was not breathing at the Citgo Gas Station, 221 West Rollins Road in Round Lake Beach. The victim arrived at the gas station at the southeast corner of Rollins Road (Cty A20) and Cedar Lake Road in a black Mercedes sedan with a large bullet hole in the right, upper rear window.
The gunshot victim was transported to Level 1 Trauma Center Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville.
Round Lake Park police are also at a very dark crime scene at Sycamore Drive just north of Midland Drive in a residential neighborhood in Round Lake Park, just south of the Alpine Country Club and the south beach of Round Lake. Lake County Major Crime Task Force investigators were on the scene by midnight Wednesday/Thursday.
The crime scene is along the west edge of Diamond Jubilee Park, and is possibly the location where the victim was shot before arriving at the Citgo gas station. The Citgo gas station is northwest of the possible shooting crime scene at Midland Drive and Sycamore Drive in Round Lake Park.
Initially there was no information available regarding who was driving the black Mercedes sedan.
