A Chicago man was sentenced to 18 years in prison for his role in a shootout at Oakbrook Center mall two days before Christmas 2021 that left five people injured, according to the DuPage County state’s attorney’s office.
Steve Lane, 33, pleaded guilty to one count of armed violence Wednesday, the office said in a statement.
Around 5:45 p.m. Dec. 23, 2021, Lane and Tyran Williams were arguing, then began shooting at each other near Oakbrook Center’s Ann Taylor store, prosecutors said.
Lane shot Williams, who underwent surgery after being shot in his back, calf and thighs, police reported at the time; he was arrested at the scene, while Lane was arrested later after he fled.
Two women in their 40s were shot in their thighs, a woman in her 20s was shot in the foot and another woman in her 20s broke her ankle while fleeing the scene, police reported at the time.
About 100 officers from multiple jurisdictions remained on the scene hours after the shooting as SWAT and tactical teams searched each store in the mall, finishing a sweep of the building six hours after the shooting took place.
“This display of such a complete and utter disregard for human life at a crowded mall just two days before Christmas is beyond comprehension,” DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said in a statement.
Williams was fatally shot in a separate drive-by shooting in the Beverly neighborhood in March 2024.
