About 5:15 p.m. Monday, officers responded to the shooting and recovered shell casings, Clark said. There were potentially three vehicles that involved in the incident, he said.

Clark didn’t have information on the suspects involved or a description of the vehicles.

“It’s an ongoing investigation and we’re following up,” Clark said.

About 5:20 p.m., Joliet police were contacted to conduct traffic control for Crest Hill police while they investigated the shooting, said Joliet police Sgt. Dwayne English.
