Over the weekend, the Independent learned that a double homicide had taken place near the intersection of Elizabeth Drive and Denise Court in Addison. According to the police report, the two men were fatally shot while driving through the Village on Saturday, May 6, which caused the vehicle to crash into a tree. Addison police are referring to the incident as a “targeted attack,” which means authorities believe no one in the general public was at any risk of death and injury.
After following up on several leads during the investigation, officers identified the victims as Alberto Rios, 20, of Villa Park and a 17-year-old juvenile male of Addison. Both were taken to area hospitals. Rios went to Adventist GlenOaks Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
In a subsequent release from the Addison Police Department, the 17-year-old was identified as Kevin Bustos-Garcia, who is from DeKalb County but currently lives in Addison. Bustos-Garcia was taken to Alexian Brothers Medical Center, where he too was pronounced dead.
The case remains under investigation, as police are interviewing witnesses and checking security footage from the area where the crash occurred.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Addison police investigators at 630-543-3080.
