Rockford police have released more information on the shooting death of Andrew Barth.
Police say officers responded to the intersection of Pearl and Hutchins for reports of shots fired and a traffic crash. Upon arrival, officers say they found an unoccupied pickup truck that had crashed into a parked car in the 500 block of Pearl. They then located Barth inside a private residence. He was aided by members of the Rockford Fire Department before being taken to SwedishAmerican Hospital.
Officers say their preliminary investigation showed Barth and another man were near the intersection when they had an altercation with people in a dark colored minivan. Police say a black male in his 20s then got out of the van and fired shots into Barth’s vehicle before getting back into the van and being driven away.
Barth then crashed his vehicle and ran into the private residence while his companion allegedly ran away.
Rockford police are asking anyone with any information on the incident to call them at 815-987-5824 or CrimeStoppers at 815-963-7867.
