CHICAGO — The 34-year-old man shot to death last week in Beverly was one of two men tied to an Oak Brook Mall shooting in Dec. 2021 that injured several people.
Tyran Williams was gunned down in an alley in the 1700 block of West 95th Street just before noon last Friday. A blue vehicle approached him when someone inside started firing. Williams was struck multiple times and taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where he was pronounced deceased.
The shooting briefly placed nearby Vanderpoel Humanities Academy on lockdown out of an abundance of caution. Ald. Matt O’Shea (19th) shared with residents that Williams had a criminal history.
