Police investigate shooting incident on Roosevelt Road

May 30, 2022 - Oak Park Police are investigating an incident involving aggravated battery with a firearm that occurred shortly after midnight Monday in the area of Roosevelt Road and Cuyler Avenue and left the victim with minor injuries.

The victim, a 34-year-old male, said the shooting incident stemmed from an argument with an unknown male that began at a business in the 6300 block of Roosevelt Road in Berwyn. The victim stated that after leaving the business a vehicle pulled up and an unknown male began firing at them with a handgun, striking the victim in the leg.

The victim’s companion, a registered gun owner, then returned fire before the offending vehicle fled northbound from the scene.
