Police in IL are hunting for a 34-year-old man who allegedly shot an officer during an argument before fleeing in a pickup truck.

The crash happened in Decatur, Illinois.

While that pickup truck was recovered, Pendleton remains on the loose – and authorities are searching for a two-door GMC 2500 pickup with “30070” painted on the doors. On Sunday, a Champaign County, Illinois, judge issued an arrest warrant for Pendleton.

According to police, Pendleton possibly stole a 2007 white GMC pick-up truck bearing IL registration number 165533B.

Kelley E. Wilson, a mother of two, later died in Decatur Memorial Hospital. Pendleton remains at large and blood was found by the police at Pendleton’s residence, indicating that he had been shot in the encounter. They believe he’s injured and “heavily armed and dangerous”.
