New details released after dad murdered outside suburban high school

Law enforcement officials continue to search for the gunmen wanted in the death of a father outside a suburban high school.

COUNTRY CLUB HILLS, Ill. - Police have released surveillance images of a vehicle connected to the fatal shooting of a man outside Hillcrest High School on Saturday afternoon.

The incident unfolded as the Prairie-Hills Junior High boys’ basketball team played in a tournament inside the school, according to Bremen High School District 228.

Police said the man, 41, was ambushed in the rear parking lot just before 1:30 p.m. as he walked to his car with his son. Surveillance footage shows a completely tinted black, four-door Infiniti Q50, which authorities say blocked the victim’s path before multiple suspects emerged from the vehicle and began shooting.

The suspects wore hoodies and masks, police said.

Following the shooting, the suspects fled the scene in the Infiniti, which was last seen on Chicago's South Side.
