Assistant State’s Attorney Kevin Meehan said 31-year-old Christian McDougald refused to pay for a haircut and argued with barbers at the Maywood shop, Chicago Sun-Times reported. The dispute moved outside before Mcadory allegedly shot McDougald once in the chest, according to the outlet.
Responding officers arrived at the scene and took McDougald to Maywood’s Loyola University Medical Center where he was pronounced dead, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
Meehan told the Chicago Sun-Times that a witness identified Mcadory as the shooter. Police reportedly found a gun tied to the shooting in Mcadory’s coat and ammunition matching the shell casing in his car.
