Stefan Filipovic, 24, of Waukegan, Illinois, was shot in the head and killed on May 29, 2022, near Poppy’s restaurant on Washington Street. Waukegan police responded about 4:51 p.m.; officers found two men with gunshot wounds to the head on the sidewalk by the restaurant parking lot. Filipovic was pronounced dead at the hospital; a 28-year-old man survived after surgery.

Investigators say surveillance footage showed a man exit a vehicle about a block away, walk toward the victims, take a shooting stance and fire multiple close-range shots. The shooter was identified as Jorge Medina, 20, of Waukegan; the vehicle was driven by Fernando Andino, 20, of Waukegan, who fled at high speed. Both men were later arrested. Medina was charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a firearm; Andino faced charges including first-degree murder and aggravated fleeing and eluding and later pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated battery with a firearm.

The footage and eyewitness testimony were cited as key evidence, and Filipovic’s parents delivered emotional statements about the loss. Did anyone in the Waukegan area see activity near Poppy’s on May 29, 2022, that could add detail to what happened that afternoon?
