A store co-owner was left with critical injuries after being shot during a robbery at Reichman Jewelers in Oak Lawn, IL.

Three men with guns entered the store Friday afternoon and disarmed a security guard, CBS Chicago reported. They then smashed display cases and started grabbing merchandise. (Scroll down to watch a news video about the robbery.)

At that point, “A store employee emerged from the rear of the store and confronted the offenders who shot the employee twice,” police stated.

ABC7 reported that the victim was a co-owner of the store.

The gunshots reportedly hit the co-owner in the chest and wrist. He “is said to be in critical condition, but is speaking and is expected to survive,” ABC7 reported Friday.

Police are still looking for the suspects, who were wearing masks and drove away in a silver sedan.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
