After leading police on a mile-long automobile pursuit that concluded in a gunfight between Randall Road and Fabyan Parkway in Batavia close to the Geneva border, a carjacking suspect was fatally shot by Kane County sheriff’s deputies on Wednesday, according to officials. At the busy junction, the guy alighted from a gray Honda Accord and “presented a handgun,” according to Kane County Sheriff Ron Hain. The suspect was also being tackled by a police dog at the same moment. According to Hain, the dog bit the victim and was engaged in “an active struggle” with him.
Deputies “returned fire” in the man’s direction as soon as he displayed a pistol, according to Hain. At Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital, the guy was declared dead after being transported there. The man’s identity and age were not disclosed by the authorities. The police dog passed away after what Hain characterized as an exchange of gunfire, but the sheriff’s deputies were unharmed. The name Hudson was given to the Dutch shepherd in honor of an Illinois state policeman who died many years ago.
On Wednesday, just before 2:00 p.m., sheriff’s officers were alerted to a carjacking that had just taken place at the Jiffy Lube located on Orchard Road, just south of Interstate 88, in Aurora.
