According to several reports, a suspect wanted for murder, was hiding out in a Rogers Park apartment building.

Sunday, August 7, 2011, around 8:40 p.m., authorities attempted to apprehend three suspects at 7644 North Greenview Avenue.

Police took two men into custody, but a third suspect escaped.

The third suspect was identified as a black man named Devonte Lamb.

Although this information has not been confirmed, it is my understanding that Lamb is wanted for allegedly shooting and killing a 23-year-old man on the 1500 block of West Jonquil Terrance, early Sunday morning.

During the arrest at the North Greenview apartment, authorities recovered a weapon; possibly the gun used in the Rogers Park homicide.

Lamb is approximately 5'9", 200 pounds, has a very dark complexion, and his hair was styled in an Afro. He was last seen wearing a white T-shirt.

If you know where Devonte Lamb is, please contact the police, immediately.
