FROM SUN-TIMES NEWS GROUP WIRE REPORTS
A homeless man who allegedly spent much of his time living in a Blue Island junkyard was found fatally shot in the south suburban yard Thursday afternoon.
Ryan Briggs, 36, was found fatally shot in the chest in a junkyard at 13715 S. Sacramento Ave. in Blue Island, a spokesman for the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office said.
Briggs, with no known home address, was pronounced dead at 5:40 p.m., the spokesman said.
According to a web listing, J & D Auto Wrecking & Towing Service is located at the Sacramento Avenue address, but the company could not be reached for comment.
Briggs was allegedly allowed to live in the junkyard and “watch over the place” since he had no home, a source said.
Blue Island police declined to comment on the shooting Thursday night.
An autopsy for Briggs is slated for Friday.
