Anthony Aguilar, 35, of Lisle, Illinois, died after being shot by police following an alleged pre-dawn break-in at a house on the 4400 block of Yender Avenue. The resident, a 59-year-old woman living alone, called 911 in the early hours of October 10, reporting someone violently kicking at her doors. Responding officers encountered Aguilar outside around 5:16 a.m.; police say he held objects in his hands, ignored repeated commands and did not respond to a Taser.

An officer fired; Aguilar was taken to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove and later pronounced dead. The DuPage County coroner’s preliminary autopsy listed a single gunshot wound to the right lower chest as the cause of death. Investigators recovered a metallic scraper and a claw hammer Aguilar had been holding, and prosecutors said he threw the hammer toward an officer while still holding another object. The occupant was uninjured after barricading in a bathroom. After review, the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office ruled the shooting justified in December 2015; no criminal charges were filed and no other suspects were sought.

Did anyone in Lisle or the surrounding area have information about Aguilar’s activities in the days before October 10, 2015?
