JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — The Will County Sheriff's Office is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a Lewis University student wanted in a man's shooting death.

A news release from the department says 19-year-old Tariq Pinnick of Lockport Township is wanted on a $1 million warrant for first-degree murder. Pinnick is accused of shooting 22-year-old Dylan Somma on Jan. 13 outside a home in Lockport Township.

The (Joliet) Herald-News (http://bit.ly/1RCTifU ) reports that Somma suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was pronounced dead at a hospital.

The sheriff's office says Pinnick is known to frequent the Lockport and Joliet areas and is enrolled at Lewis University. He's believed to be armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information regarding Pinnick's whereabouts is asked to contact the sheriff's office.
