Kiante Albert was an 18-year-old Black male who was shot and killed while driving on Sauk Trail near Lester Road in Park Forest on the evening of November 23, 2017. According to police, someone in another vehicle opened fire around 7:40 p.m., striking him in the upper torso. He was found in the 0–100 block of McCarthy Road, taken to Franciscan Health Olympia Fields, and pronounced dead at 8:31 p.m.; an autopsy concluded the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the chest.

Investigators said the attack was not random and developed a timeline showing the shooting followed a verbal altercation minutes earlier at a local business. A suspect vehicle was identified and a search warrant recovered evidence; arrest warrants for two boys, ages 16 and 17, were issued and both were later taken into custody and held for extradition. There is inconsistency in memorial listings, which record the date of death as November 24, 2017, and list Waukegan, Illinois.

Did anyone in Park Forest that night see the altercation or the vehicles involved?
