Authorities: Man found shot to death in Antioch apartment

The Lake County Major Crime Task Force is investigating the shooting death of a 42-year-old man found inside an Antioch apartment late Monday and are searching for the suspect.

Authorities said Antioch police were called to the apartment on Main Street just after 11 p.m. when neighbors reported hearing gunfire inside the apartment. Police officers were able to enter the apartment and found the body of the unidentified man inside.

Investigators believe the suspect fled before police arrived.

Police said the shooting appears to be a "targeted, isolated incident."

Deputy Chief Christopher Covelli, a spokesman for the task force, said investigators actively are following up on leads and have made progress but no one is in custody.

Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek said an autopsy of the man's body is scheduled for Wednesday.

Anyone with information about the shooting is urged to call Antioch police at (847) 395-8585 or leave an anonymous tip at lakecountycrimestoppers.com.
