Mafia-style shooting at Chicago gas station caught on video as 3 suspects open fire in broad daylight
2023-08-09
[Blaze] Three suspects shot and killed a man whom they also reportedly hit with a car at a gas station in Chicago in a brazen daytime shooting.

A small memorial was left by family members for 31-year-old Anton Benoit after he was shot and killed in a gang-style shooting at a Shell gas station in Chatham, a neighborhood in Chicago. Chatham is located on the south side and has a population of approximately 32,000.

Several different angles of the shooting were shown by ABC 7, and gas station surveillance video showed three men get out of a black Dodge Durango and empty their weapons toward Benoit. All three men got back into the vehicle and drove away.

Local outlet WGN9 said that in addition to the shooting, Benoit was also hit by the SUV.

The victim was seen at the first gas pump around 4:10 p.m. on July 26 and was shot several times before being taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center. He was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

#5  I was under the impression the mob tries to avoid shooting uninvolved bystanders. If so, mafia-style shootings would be a great improvement from the tradition Chicago spray-and-pray drive-by. It's nothing personal, just business.

#3  Real Mafia-style shootings are done in more isolated areas like parking lots, not at crowded gas stations; the Blaze writer needs to read some Mob books.

#2  Hate to say it ... but not really news here any longer. Pretty common to read about "brazen" gang shootings if you follow the right sites.
