Hammond Man Killed In Crete Township Shooting
A Hammond man was identified by the Will County Illinois Coroner after a Crete Township Shooting earlier this week.
On 12/30/2022, at approximately 9:05 PM, Deputies with the Will County Sheriff’s Office were sent to the 1100 block of E. 263rd Street in Unincorporated Crete Township for a shooting. Deputies were advised that a twenty-five-year-old male had been struck by gunfire. Deputies were further advised that the male appeared to be deceased.
It appears that the victim had been sitting in his car when he was ambushed from behind, as multiple gunshots were fired into the back of his vehicle. The victim’s vehicle had been stationary near the area of 263rd and Greenwood, shortly before shots rang out. Upon shots being fired, the victim sped away from the scene at a high rate of speed. As the vehicle sped away, the victim crashed his vehicle into nearby parked cars that were located east of where the shooting had occurred.
The victim in this shooting was specifically targeted. The identity of the victim was released by the coroner as Chaves Bradley, 25, of Hammond. Bradley sustained multiple gun shot wounds. No arrests have been made in connection to this crime, according to a Sheriff release.
