Man shot to death near NW Side convenience store

A northern Illinois man was shot to death Friday night in the Belmont Heights neighborhood on the Northwest Side.

Just after 10 p.m., 28-year-old Crispin Coliz got into an argument with two males inside a convenience store, Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. When Coliz got into a vehicle and started driving away, the two other people followed in a light-colored SUV. They pulled alongside him in the 7200 block of West Grace and opened fire, hitting him in the side of the head.

Coliz, who lived in the 4800 block of Rotary Road in Cherry Hill, was taken to Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, where he was pronounced dead at 10:39 p.m., authorities said.

Area North detectives were conducting a homicide investigation.
