More Joliet Gunfire: Black Road House, Pickup Truck Hit

JOLIET — During the past week, there's been gunfire throughout the city of Joliet: in Pilcher Park, Joliet's downtown, the Preston Heights area and the latest gunfire involved motorists trying to shoot one another on Monday night along Black Road.

Joliet police say that at 8:21 p.m., officers responded to Black Road and Madison Street for a report of multiple shots fired.

"It was believed that occupants from a white sedan vehicle and a tan sport utility vehicle were exchanging gunfire while both vehicles traveled westbound on Black Road at a high rate of speed," Joliet police spokesman Dwayne English said. " Upon arrival, officers discovered spent shell casings in the area of Black Road between Madison Street and Springfield Avenue."

Officers were unable to locate the vehicles involved, and no shooting victims were reported after area hospitals were checked.

However, during a canvass of the area, the officers learned that a house and a GMC pickup truck in the 2300 block of Black Road were struck by gunfire.

No injuries were reported from this shooting.

English wanted everyone to know that anyone with video footage or information related to this shooting are encouraged to contact the Joliet Police Department Investigation Division at (815)724-3020. They can also contact Will County Crime Stoppers at 800-323-6734 or online if they wish to remain anonymous.
