Maybe it was the Car?

Carjacking up north....and then it got interesting:

  • A 22-year-old man was murdered during a carjacking in Boystown early Wednesday morning, and less than an hour later, a second man was found dead next to the stolen vehicle on the city’s South Side, according to Chicago police and law enforcement sources. Detectives are now investigating whether the second dead man was one of the carjackers.

    It all began around 3:59 a.m. in the 700 block of West Waveland Avenue, where two men were sitting inside a 2014 Hyundai Sonata, according to police. Two male carjackers approached the vehicle, displayed guns, and demanded the victims’ vehicle and belongings before opening fire, police said.

    They shot one of the victims, a 22-year-old man, and drove away with his car. The other victim, 38, was not injured. Officers applied chest seals and administered CPR to the younger victim, but he was pronounced dead at Illinois Masonic Hospital, police said. A bullet had apparently struck him directly in the heart.

    Shortly after 4 a.m., a Chicago Police Department license plate reader detected the hijacked car traveling in the 100 block of West 31st Street, according to police.

    Then, at 4:50 a.m., a passerby discovered a man lying unresponsive in the middle of the 3700 block of South Lake Park Avenue in Oakland, police said. The man, who had a gunshot wound to his head, was lying next to the Hyundai that had been hijacked in Boystown, according to a source. The car’s doors were open, and its blinker was on.

It may have been one of the carjackers, perhaps a falling out among thieves?

This is the stuff we miss.
