Sadeq was shot more than once, including a shot in the head, reports the Chicago Sun-Times, and was pronounced dead at the scene.

A customer told Daniel Brown, reporting for the Chicago Sun-Times, he heard three shots and saw Sadeq “trying to run in the door, but he couldn’t open the door and he just collapsed right there where he’s at.”

WGN reports that Sadeq, a native of Yemen, moved to Oak Lawn from New York with his family to seek a better life.
