He was transported to Elmhurst Hospital where he was pronounced dead from multiple gunshot wounds.
"Anthony Tillmon, in a complete display of disregard for public safety, opened fire during rush hour on a crowded highway and murdered a man he had never met simply because he could not control his anger," DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said in a statement. "Truck drivers have an extremely stressful job and for someone to violently take the life of a man who was just trying to make an honest living is inexcusable.
Tillmon will be required to serve 100 percent of his sentence before he is eligible for parole, the state's attorney's office said. He will receive credit for time served in the DuPage County Jail.that I have read and agree
