As Cooper and his front seat passenger, a 29-year-old Matteson woman, entered the gas station, one of the masked people in the Infiniti walked over to the Honda and “removed objects from inside the vehicle,” before going back into the Infiniti, according to the report.
At that point, the 29-year-old woman left the station, drove the Tesla up to the front entrance of the BP and got out, letting Cooper get behind the wheel, the report said.
Suddenly, two masked gunmen jumped from the Infiniti and four gunmen, from the Honda approached the Tesla and opened fire, hitting Cooper in the chest and shoulder, officials said.
