Days of disturbing Facebook posts end with cross-city shooting spree that leaves 3 murdered, 4 wounded, gunman dead
A north suburban man went on a shooting spree across Chicago and Evanston, killing three people and critically wounding four others before Evanston police fatally shot him in an exchange of gunfire Saturday evening, authorities said.No motive has been given for Jason Nightengale’s hours-long violence binge, but dozens of videos posted to his Facebook page since January 6 show him flashing a gun, sizing up potential crime victims as they sit in cars, drinking, smoking, and gradually descending into a seemingly deranged mental state.
Chicago police are now looking at some of the city’s unsolved murder cases to see if there may be links to Nightengale, according to two sources.
In some videos posted this week, Nightengale said he was out looking for people to victimize.
“I’m looking for somebody by themself, you know what I mean? Walking to their car,” Nightengale says as he walks across a strip mall parking lot.
“It might be this guy,” he continues as he turns the camera toward an idling SUV with a driver sitting behind the wheel. “I might jack his ass. No. He looks like a problem…I don’t need no problem.”
