July 14--An Austin man died over the weekend from gunshot wounds suffered more than 15 years ago, authorities said.
Anton Johnson, 36, was pronounced dead Saturday at 3:45 a.m. at West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. Following an autopsy Sunday, the medical examiner's office determined Johnson died from "remote complications of multiple gunshot wounds," meaning wounds suffered a long time before his death.
Johnson suffered gunshot wounds in an incident on April 11, 2000, a spokesman for the medical examiner's office said Tuesday. The incident took place at or near his residence in the 1300 block of North Massasoit Avenue, according to the office.
It was not immediately known whether anyone was prosecuted for Johnson's shooting at the time of his injury.
