Quintin Sharp


A man was fatally shot as he sped toward a security guard after a domestic quarrel at a Woodlawn neighborhood apartment complex, police say.

Quintin Sharp, 25, of the 6300 block of South King Drive, was pronounced dead at 5:30 p.m. Monday at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Sharp, with a 6-year-old boy, was fleeing in a car he had taken from a woman when he was stopped in the parking lot of the South Side complex by security guards, said Police News Affairs Officer Robert Perez.

Sharp accelerated toward one of the guards and another guard opened fire, striking Sharp in the head, Perez said.

Sharp crashed nearby in the 6400 block of King Drive, Perez said. The child suffered minor cuts from flying glass, Perez said. Sharp was taken to the hospital where he later died.
