The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified the man who died after being shot outside of a suburban Glenwood bar and grill on Sunday morning. The victim, 31-year-old James Honey, was pronounced dead at the hospital after being shot at least once.<\/p>\n
According to authorities, the shooting occurred after the victim became involved in a verbal altercation with another group as they were attempting to leave the restaurant’s parking lot. One of the individuals in that group fired shots at the victim before fleeing the scene in a vehicle.<\/p>\n
Glenwood Mayor Ron Gardiner issued a statement Sunday, describing the shooting as an “isolated incident” that occurred outside of the building. The mayor emphasized the restaurant’s owners are “committed” to increasing security protocols. “This tragedy is unacceptable and has no place in our community or any other,” the mayor said. “One person’s senseless decision has left the victim’s family and friends devastated and we are keeping them in our thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.”<\/p>\n
