Joliet Double Shooting Leaves Second Slain in 2 Days

Two were shot Tuesday night and one is dead—so far.

Posted by Joseph Hosey (Editor), October 24, 2012 at 04:13 am

A double shooting on Second Avenue has left at least one dead in the city's second gun attack in as many days.

Joliet police Detectives were heading over to the death scene on Second Avenue shortly before 8:30 p.m. A police source confirmed one was dead.

Just over 24 hours earlier, 18-year-old Tevin Bridges was gunned down in the Lois Place apartments. A Lois Place resident, Darrel Perkins, 53, was arrested and charged with Bridges' murder.

Witnesses said Bridges wanted to buy loose cigarettes from Perkins but advanced at him with balled fists when he heard the price was $1 for two smokes.

You need to put the correct phone number. You have 8 numbers listed instead of 7.

Maybe some new manhole lids with rubber rings to stop all the flooding of peoples houses,And…Read More actually climb down in the manhole and see if it is leaking instead of paying all of these people in Joliet getting flooded out by YOUR SANITARY System. Some paint being scrapped off the City Hall Hand Rails that will cut ya up.
