Lockett, meanwhile, was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition. 

His daughter Arielle Lockett told ABC 7 the 55-year-old father-of-three was  left comatose, 'responding to pain but not opening his eyes, not able to speak.' 

'He had a lot of swelling to the head. They took him to surgery to see if they could remove the bullet. They got some of it, but there are fragments left,' she said in an interview last month. 

In the wake of the shooting, Chadwell's mother told CBS Chicago her son was not a 'bad person at all' and did not believe he intended to harm anyone.

The mom, who did not wish to be named, said her son was diagnosed with ADHD and had mental health problems.

'He was a beautiful child,' she told the news outlet in an interview last month.

'My condolences to the [security guard's] family because I know my baby did not mean to do that,' she said. 'He didn't, and I am sorry that it happened. I am.'
