4th Suspect In Retired CFD Lt's Fatal Shooting Arrested At O'Hare

CHICAGO — The fourth and final suspect in the attempted carjacking and fatal shooting of a retired Chicago firefighter has been extradited from Pennsylvania to Chicago. Police met 19-year-old Jaylen Saulsberry at O’Hare International Airport on Tuesday, where he was taken into custody, police said.

Saulsberry, of Chicago Heights, has been charged with one felony count of first-degree murder. Police said Saulsberry had been arrested New Year’s Day on a warrant in Pennsylvania. The Chicago Heights man was being held there on a $2 million warrant while waiting to be extradited to Chicago.

Retired Chicago Fire Department Lt. Dwain Williams, 65, was leaving a popcorn store in Morgan Park when he was confronted by four men driving a stolen Ford Fusion, police said. The occupants were believed to be after Williams’ Jeep Grand Cherokee. There was an exchange of gunfire between Williams, who held a conceal-carry license, and the suspects, police said. Williams was shot in the stomach and died at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

A 15-year-old boy, and an 18-year-old and 20-year-old, have been charged in the fatal attempted carjacking. Saulsberry was identified as a participant from surveillance video. Suburban police have said they were familiar with some members of the group, who are believed to be part of a carjacking crew working the city and suburbs.

No court information was available for Saulsberry.
