Man shot and killed during attempted carjacking in Belmont Central; suspect caught on video

CHICAGO (CBS)-- A deadly shooting during a carjacking attempt was caught on video early Friday morning in the Belmont Central neighborhood.

As CBS 2's Suzanne Le Mignot reported Friday, police said the person responsible for the shooting was also seen running away by witnesses.

The attack happened around 3 a.m. The video first shows a black sport-utility vehicle roll down an alley perpendicular to the 3100 block of North Mango Avenue.

The SUV appears to cross Mango Avenue and continue down the alley. Next, a white car pulls up on Mango Avenue and then reverses.

What appears to be the same white car is then seen going back down the alley.

Afterward, the suspect - a man in a dark hoodie and light-colored pants - appears in the video.  Immediately, we see a person wearing a white top and dark pants, who may be the victim. 

The second man quickly walks out of the camera frame. The man in the dark hoodie runs south on Mango Avenue, and the driver in the white car speeds away, in the same direction. 

But here is what we don't see on camera. Chicago Police say the man in the dark hoodie went up to a passenger in a vehicle - possibly the man in the white top - and demanded to have the car. He then and shot the 38-year-old passenger in his right shoulder.

The passenger later died at Community First Medical Center.

"It was like one first, and then like five seconds later, it started, 'Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!'" said Manuel Cordero.

Cordero said his daughter heard the gunshots.

"She was afraid to see through the window, because she didn't know what's going on," Cordero said. "But he said, 'It was very close, very close Papi.'"

The identity of the victim in the shooting has not been released. The Cook County Medical Examiner's office said the victim's family hasn't been notified yet.

Police are still searching for the shooter.
