A liquor store clerk in Cicero was shot and killed Tuesday afternoon while trying to stop two customers from stealing a bottle of liquor.
According to authorities, 23-year-old Sebastian Rodriguez was shot in the head at around 1:15 p.m. while working at Licores El Potrillo, located in the 2100 block of South Cicero Avenue.“Two guys came in, took a bottle, and followed to stop them from taking it,” store manager Norma Brito said, mourning her co-worker at a small memorial set up in the store’s parking lot.
“That’s when the other guy just shot him,” she said. “For a bottle, over a bottle. Just one simple bottle.” Though the suspects initially fled the scene, Cicero police said two persons of interest are currently in custody.Chicago's high humidity, 90-degree temperatures continue for 1st day of summer Feeling out of the loop?
