Man killed in shooting involving Illinois State Police on Chicago's South Side

CHICAGO - A man was killed in a shooting during a struggle with Illinois State Police Wednesday night on Chicago's South Side.

What we know:

The shooting happened around 10:50 in the 6500 block of South Champlain Avenue, where officers responded to a report of a domestic battery and found an armed man, according to ISP.

A struggle broke out and shots were fired, hitting the suspect.

Officers rendered aid at the scene until the suspect was taken to a local hospital where he later died.

Stanley Carpenter identified the man killed as his son, 24-year-old Jalen Carpenter. 

"They killed my son," Carpenter said. "They shot him multiple times in the head. That's overkill. He had so many bullets we couldn't even view the body."

Stanley Carpenter said Jalen worked for Amazon and may have been visiting his girlfriend at the time of the shooting.

"You can't imagine out of billions of people that this would touch you, that death would touch you in one single night. Like out of everybody in the world, you never think that death would get to you like this and that my son would die from the hands of people who are supposed to be out here to serve and protect," Stanley Carpenter said.

ISP said no officers were injured during the incident. A gun was also recovered from the scene.

Police have not said who fired the shots leading to Jalen Carpenter's death. Fox Chicago has reached out for more information regarding the shooting.

The ISP Division of Internal Investigation Special Agents are investigating the shooting. Findings from the investigation will be submitted for review to the Cook County State's Attorney's Office.
