Dolton police converged on the scene at 1110 West Sibley Boulevard, assisted by Illinois State Police and other municipalities, roping off most of the block.
Saul Mazom said he saw most of the scene unfold, saying one of the cars hit the other.
“Thank God I was not walking through here when it happened, you know?” Mazom said. “That vehicle was flying and hit another vehicle, and they all came inside the parking lot of the Auto Zone.”
Mazom said the two cars were headed west on Sibley when they reached the Auto Zone, and at least five people from both cars jumped out and exchanged gunfire. It caused patrons of businesses across the street to duck for cover.
Israel Martinez said he and other employees at the Hoagie Place were getting ready to open when they heard knocking on the door.
