Reward increases for 2008 homicide case
More reward money is being offered to help solve the murders of five women 16 years ago at a Tinley Park clothing store. The case is still unsolved, despite a $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction of those involved in the shootings.
On Sunday, Tinley Park residents and community activists announced an additional $3,000 to be offered. In 2008, Tinley Park police said a man posing as a delivery driver pulled a gun on the women and forced them into a back room, where he shot them.
