security guard for the Canadian National Railway

Manhunt continues for man who shot and killed railroad security officer Tyrone Hardin. Multiple police agencies continue to investigate the shooting death of a security officer who was tragically killed Saturday evening while on duty at the CN railroad yard in Harvey. The guard worked with a private security firm that assists CN Police.

Police are searching for a man who shot and killed a security guard who worked for the Canadian National Railroad and stole two vehicles Saturday evening in south suburban Harvey, police said.

Investigators said around 7 p.m., a Harvey resident called police and said her car was stolen. The victim saw the suspect in another vehicle. The suspect ran out of that car and up onto the railroad tracks. That is where he came into contact with a railroad security officer.

Police said he shot more than a dozen shots and the security officer was hit in the stomach. He was was taken to South Suburban Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The security guard was identified as Tyrone Hardin, 38, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner.
