Chicago police were following a tip in February of 2024, the day after a suburban father of four was shot to death inside a Family Dollar<\/a>, CPD said.<\/p>\n

Police identified a suspect<\/a> in the West Side shooting and found the individual in Dolton, according to police.<\/p>\n

CPD said officers and SWAT were in the 15200-block of South Meadow Lane<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There was an exchange of gunfire between the suspect and officers, CPD said. Officers then took the suspect into custody in the 15200-block of Diekman Court in Dolton, and recovered a gun from the scene.<\/p>\n

No injuries were reported in that incident.<\/p>\n

CPD on Tuesday announced charges in a deadly West Side shooting and a suburban shootout from last week.<\/p>\n

Oneal was charged with first-degree murder and murder with a strong probability of death or injury in the Austin Family Dollar incident, which took place in the 5400-block of West Chicago Avenue.<\/p>\n

The victim, Loyce Wright, 43, of Hanover Park was shot several times, and later died.<\/p>\n

Relatives of the victim told ABC7 he was a security guard.<\/p>\n

Police said the suspect was a previous employee at the store.<\/p>\n

They said Wright wore a vest, but it wasn’t bulletproof.<\/p>\n

Oneal is back in court Sept. 10.<\/p>\n

No trial date has been set for the murder case.<\/p>\n

He also has two other pending cases: an attempted murder in 2022 and a home invasion\/sex assault case.<\/p>\n
