Evanston police find bullet holes in car after shots fired call

Police said a call of shots fired led them to a car with bullet holes Tuesday evening in south Evanston.

Officers responded to the report at about 6:45 p.m. in the 700 block of Dobson Street, where someone told police he was shot at but provided no further information, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said. The vehicle was found nearby in the 100 block of Custer Avenue.

While police were investigating the call of shots fired, they received another one across the Chicago border in the 7500 block of North Hoyne Avenue, Parrott said.

“Police stopped several individuals believed to be involved but no identification was made during the investigation,” Parrott wrote in an email to The Daily.

Officers arrested a person in connection with disobedience to police near the location of the first report, Parrott said.

The incidents happened within a one-mile radius of the Howard Street CTA station.
