Christopher A. Mitchell, 25, of Frankfort, Illinois, was shot and killed on July 2, 2019, in Monee, Illinois. Officers found two gunshot victims sitting in a car in the 25700 block of South Sunrise Drive; Mitchell, the driver, was pronounced dead at the scene at 5:20 p.m. A 23-year-old woman from Chicago, a passenger, was seriously injured and taken to the University of Chicago for treatment.

Monee police say the shooting occurred about 2:44 p.m. after several shots were fired. Investigators report a masked man with a gun jumped into a car with four other people and fled. Police believe both victims had been visiting a friend in Monee and were followed from Chicago to Sunrise Drive. This was reportedly not the first drive-by shooting on that street; a targeted shooting was reported at a house there in September 2018.

No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the investigation remains open. If anyone has information about the shooting or those involved, please contact the Monee Police Department.
