Rockford Scanner™: Shooting On The East Side



 

Shooting On The East Side

Update: On Monday July 8, 2019 at about 11:50 PM Rockford Police responded to the 100 block of Vale Avenue North in reference to shots fired. Officers located spent shell casings in the roadway and learned a home in the 100 block of Vale Avenue North was struck by gunfire. This is an active and ongoing investigation. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Rockford Police at (815) 966-2900 or Rockford Area Crimestoppers at (815) 963-STOP (7867)

Sources are reporting approx 30 gunshots were fired around midnight in the 100 block of Vale. That is off of E State st.

There are conflicting reports of injuries.   But RPD won’t confirm anything .

The supervisor at the scene told us to call the media line. We called it and no answers. Usually they tell us to look at the call logs.  We asked the supervisor if there was any injuries, he wont not confirm no r deny anything.  I asked about suspect information, again he wouldn’t say anything.  I asked if there would be a blotter, he said possibly. As of 3 am, there still is no blotter on the incident. We have called the media line, like we were directed to do so. And no answer.

So it appears as of 3 am, RPD is not going to release any information on this incident.

We saw many officers at the scene.  A crime scene unit was processing the scene. Numerous evidence markers covered the ground on the street.  Police had Vale blocked off at E State st.  E State st was still open to traffic. As of 3 am, police were still on scene.

If the RPD releases info. we will update this.

Rockford Scanner™: Scene on the East Side, Sources Said possible Death Investigation



UPDATE:

Tuesday, July 2, 2019, shortly after 10:00 p.m., Rockford Police Patrol Officers responded to the 5300 block of Parliament Place in reference to a subject reportedly attempting to break into a window of a residence.

Upon arrival, officers located the 40-year-old male suspect, who was wearing hospital scrubs. Officers took the suspect into custody after a brief struggle. The suspect immediately then suffered a medical episode, and officers began performing CPR. The suspect was transported to a hospital where he later died.

Officers learned the suspect had earlier been transported by ambulance to a local hospital in the area for an unreported medical condition. He then fled from hospital staff and security a short time prior to the reported attempted break-in.

Chief Dan O’Shea activated the Winnebago Boone County Integrity Task Force immediately following the incident, which will conduct an independent investigation.

Sources are reporting a scene on the East side. 

It happened in the 5300 block of Parliment Pl a little after 10 pm.
That is located off of Roxbury, behind St Anthony Hospital.

What we can confirm so far: 

  • RPD and RFD were performing CPR on a person.
  • RPD call log shows this to be an “In progress Person”  in the 5300 block of Parliment pl at 10:03 pm.
  • Numerous police officers and what appeared to be detectives were on scene.

 

In the past, the police have labeled death investigation calls as “in progress person” calls in their call log. Also shootings, stabbings, robberies, etc…

Unconfirmed:  Sources have told us this is a death investigation.  We can only confirm CPR was being performed. We do not know the status of the victim. So we can not confirm the death, only the CPR.

We are awaiting the RPD to release information on this incident.

When they do we will update this.
