Two suspects were arrested early Friday morning in Oak Brook after police responded to reports of suspicious activity. Later that morning, two of their alleged accomplices were shot—one fatally—while attempting to rob a sanitation worker in Chicago , authorities said. Around 2:55 a.m. on Jan. 31, Oak Brook police responded to the York Woods subdivision after a report of suspicious activity.
Officers spotted a dark-colored Nissan Rogue with Indiana plates and a Hyundai Sonata with Illinois plates leaving the area. The Sonata was later confirmed stolen. A police chase ensued, which eventually led to a foot pursuit in Westchester. Police arrested two suspects: 19-year-old Xavier E. Walker of Hammond, Indiana; and a 17-year-old juvenile from Chicago. Detectives say the duo broke into multiple vehicles in Oak Brook, and snooped through mailboxes, looking for valuable items. Information gathered during the investigation indicates a connection to the burglary of vehicles in Hammond the night before, according to police. Walker faces felony charges for possession of a stolen vehicle and possession of burglary tools, as well as a charge for fleeing police. The juvenile was also charged with felony possession of a stolen vehicle and was taken to the Kane County Juvenile Detention Center. The Nissan Rogue, meanwhile, was involved in a separate incident later that morning in Chicago. According to police, two men from the vehicle attempted to rob a sanitation worker in the Homan Square neighborhood. The worker, who has a concealed carry license, shot both suspects. A 42-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene, while a 20-year-old was hospitalized in critical condition. Authorities have not yet released the identities of the two suspects involved in the Chicago shooting. Area Four detectives in Chicago are continuing to investigate the shooting. Meanwhile, Oak Brook police are urging residents to report any suspicious activity in their neighborhoods. 'This incident illustrates the importance of calling 911 when you observe anything out of the ordinary in your neighborhood which was done by an alert resident in this case,' Oak Brook Police Chief Brian Strockis said in a statement
