Victim in Austin Boulevard shooting was federal informant

According to the Federal complaint, two other men, “Individual C” and “Individual D” identified as the informant’s “neighbors” were interviewed by federal agents. C and D both had phone numbers in their cell phones for Toby Jones, Lesley Fields and Kelsey Jones. The two interviewed told investigators they received phone calls from both Toby Jones and Kelsey Jones between March 27 and April 2. The Vice Lord leader and his underling both demanded the whereabouts of the victim from Individual C, the complaint said.

Toby Jones told C and D that the victim was a “Fed” and that the informant had “set up” Fields. Cell phone records showed Kelsey Jones called both neighbors April 2, shortly before the victim was shot.

When asked if the “neighbors” also lived in the building at 464 N. Austin, Oak Park Police Chief Tanksley said it was possible they might live in another building or across the street.

The ATF’s Ahern declined to confirm or deny whether C and D lived in the same building as the informant.

“We don’t like to give out identifying information,” he said.

The building’s landlord, Dan Vollman, did not immediately return calls Wednesday.
