4 Dead, 3 Gunshot Victims Found In Driveway, Road Near Oak Forest Home: Police

OAK FOREST, IL — The identities of four people dead after a barricade situation and fire in Oak Forest Friday were released, hours after the slayings happened in the normally quiet suburban neighborhood.

The four killed are 22-year-old Briana Rodriguez, 20-year-old Emilio Rodriguez, 43-year-old Lupe Gomez and 44-year-old Carlos Gomez, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office. All were residents of the 5500 block of Ann Marie Lane, where the incident unfolded starting in the early morning hours.

A child who was able to leave the home survived the incident, according to officials.

Police first responded to a domestic disturbance call just after 6:30 a.m. at the home where the four victims lived. There, they found two victims with gunshot wounds in the driveway, and another shot in the road near the house.

Police said officers pulled the victims into their patrol cars and took them to a safer area to render aid. All three victims later died from their injuries after being taken to area hospitals, according to officials.

Police said the shooter was still at the home when the victims were taken from the scene.

Officers surrounded the house, where they say the shooter was barricaded inside, and a child was sent out of the home and evacuated. A fire then started inside the home, and after it was extinguished, a fourth person, assumed to be the shooter, was found dead inside, police said.

It was not immediately clear which of the four people identified was the person inside the home.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Ryan Burnett at the Oak Forest Police Department at 708-687-1376 or rburnett@oak-forest.org.
