Bond has been set at $1 million for a Highland Park man charged with firing multiple gunshots at an acquaintance Friday afternoon in a parking lot in the northern suburb.

Andres Carillo-Escuvedo, 30, of the 2500 block of Green Bay Road, also is accused of entering an occupied delivery truck with his handgun in sight and ordering the driver to drive away.

A man was seated in his car in the Garrity Square parking lot in the 1800 block of Deerfield Road when Carillo-Escuvedo walked up to the driver's side window, said Deputy Police Chief Timothy Wilinski.

“Both the victim and the suspect knew each other,” Wilinski said.

The nature of the dispute is still under investigation.

“The offender was yelling at the victim and telling him to get out of the car,” Wilinski said. “When he refused, that's when the suspect pulled out a firearm and discharged it into the car.”

The man was not injured, according to police, and put the vehicle in reverse and drove out of the parking lot as Carillo-Escuvedo fired additional shots at the vehicle.

“After that, the suspect approached a delivery truck, jumped in with his handgun and told the driver to drive away,” Wilinski said.

The first man drove to the Highland Park police station a few blocks away and reported the shooting shortly after 4 p.m. Police located a witness at the scene who provided a description of the delivery truck.

After the description was broadcast, Deerfield police stopped the vehicle near Waukegan Road and Greenwood Avenue and took Carillo-Escuvedo into custody without incident, Wilinski said.

Carillo-Escuvedo was charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm, reckless discharge of a firearm and unlawful use of a weapon for failing to have a concealed carry permit or a firearm owner's identification card.

The charges were approved by the chief of felony review for the Lake County State's Attorney's office. The office says additional charges are under review.

Bond was set at $1 million in bond court on Saturday.
