The victim was taken to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Alanna stated they were exiting the store with their three children when an acquaintance confronted her husband.
Fearing he might be armed, he reached into his pockets and fired a shot.
'If he didn't have that gun, and we walked out here and all those people would've jumped on him, would I be at the hospital right now praying over my husband? He defended me, himself, and his kids." Alanna told Local4.
Police confirmed that the 21-year-old Oak Park man was sent to a nearby hospital after bystanders attacked him during his arrest.
The shooter remains detained as authorities investigate.
