CHICAGO IL Jan 22 2012 — A 23-year-old security guard at a downtown Chicago Walgreens has been shot and killed.
Police say a shooter, later identified as 33-year-old Donte Simmons, a former employee of the store walked in just before 10 p.m. Friday and opened fire on the security officer.
The victim, who police now identify as Troy Cameron, was shot multiple times in the head and body. He was found dead outside of the store in the city’s River North neighborhood.
It’s unclear whether the security officer exchanged gunfire, but bullets were found embedded in a nearby Chicago Transit Authority bus.
The suspect reportedly fled on foot but was later found dead in alley of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Simmons was also a suspect in another Friday shooting on Chicago’s North Side not far from where his body was found. No details about the victim in that shooting have been released.
A gun was recovered near Simmons’ body.
A Walgreens spokesman says counseling will be provided for employees at their request.
