Victim of Rolling Meadows shooting identified as Palatine man
The Cook County medical examiner's office on Monday determined the death of a Palatine man found early Sunday in Rolling Meadows to be a homicide.
An autopsy showed the man - identified Monday night as 39-year-old Marco Guerrero-Lopez - died from a gunshot wound to the torso, the medical examiner's office said.
Officers discovered the man suffering from the gunshot wound about 5 a.m. Sunday while responding to reports of shots fired on the 2000 block of Kirchoff Road on the city's eastern border.
Guerrero-Lopez was taken to nearby Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights, where he was pronounced dead at 5:35 a.m., authorities said.
For a time Sunday, police tape surrounded Gateway Park, on the northwest corner of Kirchoff and Wilke roads, and a police mobile command unit vehicle was parked in the driveway of an adjacent home.
Police said the shooting appears to be an isolated event.
