Police have reportedly identified a person of interest in the shooting of Lil Reese.
According to NBC 5 Chicago, Country Club Hills Public Safety Director William Brown made the announcement in a statement on Monday (November 25), explaining they were waiting on an arrest warrant.
The shooting took place at the intersection of 167th Street and Pulaski Road in south Country Club Hills on November 11.
When officers arrived on the scene, they discovered the victim had already been taken to South Suburban Hospital’s emergency room in Hazel Crest with a wound to the neck. He was then transferred to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn where he recovered.
Earlier this month, Reese showed off his injuries in an Instagram post, revealing several staples on his throat.
Police have also recovered a car believed to be used in the shooting. More information will presumably be revealed once (or if) they receive the warrant.

Rumors started circulating online that Lil Reese had been shot in a Chicago suburb on Monday afternoon (November 11), but it wasn’t confirmed. Now, ABC7 Chicago reports the man shot was indeed Tavares Taylor, better known as Lil Reese.
Police said officers responded to the intersection of 167th Street and Pulaski Road in south Country Club Hills after they received reports of a shooting. Once they arrived on the scene, they discovered the victim had already been taken to the hospital.
Officers found a vehicle with fresh blood in the driver’s seat and on the ground next to the door. Police checked nearby hospitals and located a male with a gunshot wound to the neck area at South Suburban Hospital’s emergency room in Hazel Crest. He was ultimately transferred to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
Hospital officials reportedly confirmed Reese’s identity and revealed he’s in critical condition. No arrests have been reported.
Lil Durk added confusion to the situation when he tweeted “Reese good” but didn’t provide any further details.
HipHopDX has reached out to the Country Club Hills Police Department and Durk’s management.
This is a developing story.
Why you dumb fucks saying the hospital he’s in? Y’all a burn. What if they tryna finish him!?! Fucking media outlets
Best news of the day. These people are making us black folk look bad.
Yes u r…stupid ass prick
White people literally drop bombs on people every week yet you think this one story makes black people look bad?
How many white people killed rappers??
Just answer.
Girl how u think pac n big died?
Pac dided because he beat the shit out of other thugs, and ran his mouth, talking about killing dozens of others, all whole attempting to destroy millions of their business. Wasn’t a white person lol. White executives don’t do drive by shootings in the middle of busy intersections… They do cold and calculated assassinations, Hillary Clinton style
How many people have white people killed in the history of forever compared to black people?
Well, history is gone. It’s black killing blacks NOW. And you can deflect all damn day, saying “well, look at the the native American genocide!”. None of us on earth did that. None of us on earth have grandparents who witnessed that. Most whites in America had their ancestors immigrate here in the early 1900s, aka after Slavery, after genocide, ect…. Quit deflecting to history, and solve the same violence that is CURRENTLY occurring.
I’m not talking about some hypothetical ass “history of forever”…. I’m talking about statistics. Hell, it’s probably been more niggas killed by other niggas in Chicago in the past two years than blacks killed by whites in the entire ’60s. Foh with that victim bullshit
Hahaha Truth Talk is some kind of special idiot. “But white folk drop bombs on people”…shut the hell up. Oh what you couldn’t use that line for the 8 years of Obama’s presidency. The Govt and military is made up of all colors and all americans including immigrants. That’s America. However, you’re comparing gang banger who get in shootouts over drugs or insults on IG to be a worthy comparison. Reassess your dumb ass behavior son.
The moment you brought up Obama’s presidency it showed your racism! Get your confederate cousin fucking ass out our culture. We have enough problems of our own.
It showed his racism? How? Because someone said “white people drop bombs”, and he said “we had a black president drop a record amount of bombs”. It’s not racist to point out the obvious. Bunch of retards on hiphop sites… BTW, it’s not “white people” bombing nations. It’s less than 1/1000th of a % of Americans. 99.999% of white people do not bomb others lol…
White people drop bombs in WARS. YES, actual wars. They aren’t just killing people for the fuck of it. They aren’t running around flashing gang signs, and shooting up THEIR OWN PEOPLE.
Name 1 Lil Reese song and I will give you 20 bucks
“Ain’t witchu fosho” by lil reese
Lmaoooooo word
Us , traffic , beef
I hate seeing a young man get gunned down in violence no matter how destructive he was. Perhaps the culture failed him. Perhaps we’re allowing this behavior to go on for too long. Perhaps the street elders should put a stop to this and get it under control. The only way this problem is going to be resolved is if it gets treated by the source, ie: the streets. Sadly, you can’t trust the police as that will cause more problems and take focus off the true issue, the street life. Why does this continue to go on? Has there not been enough death and destruction we’ve witnessed? Is it greed and money that allows us to stay silent when the cancer is growing within our bodies?
Fuck racism we all the same, prayers up to Reesey hope he’s all good. To many people with nothing to do in life always saying stupid stuff. This is another persons life no matter what you guys just saying dumb shit only because your not the one getting shot at, but if you was him you wouldn’t be saying shit. Doesn’t matter what color They skin is.
Best, a real one.
If I was him, I wouldn’t be getting shot at in the first place! This ain’t GTA dude that cat that shot him probably got at least 2 stars now
Just sayin….
We’re not “all the same”. We may be humans, but we often have different cultures. I doubt u can defend the way Muslim nations treat minorities or women? My point is that culture us what seperayes humans, and some culture is just plain bad.
It’s easy to defend how they treat women dumbass lol…you said that shit like you had a spade or something…foh
They say he’s only Reese’s piece’s now….
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
All lives matter. Just not to each other apparently. Being black and from Chicago I see firsthand that we are the only ones killing ourselves daily, not whites. Also, whites aren’t the ones that enslaved us it was our own people that did that to us. African warlords sold us to the whites and Spanish. These are hard honest facts we all have to learn to live and deal with.
I’m with you brother, we have to point that finger at ourselves for all this stupidity. It’s become a fad now. Make mumble rap, live carelessly, do plenty of drugs, and eventually end up on a RIP t-shirt.
Man stfu
Stop lying about who you are. We talked about this before
Doesn’t matter, he telling the truth tho. Blacks been here longer than most races and still don’t own sh^t but Jordans and a pint of henny
Who???
as long as no white police officers were involved then its all kool man, just another wonderful day in the neighborhood, wont you be my neighbor?
Reeses Pieces! Hahahahahahahaha!
Social media been saying as soon as it happened that it was FBG Duck. Is he the person the cops identified now?
Of course they did he snitch like tadoe and chief keef you surprised?
