So a buddy of mine that grew up in the Pittsburgh ares told me about a incident that happened in Arlington Heights in the early 90's. Law enforcement entered the projects to serve a warrant and noticed a huge crowd at the basketball court. At the free throw line was a known drug dealer shooting foul shots with a human head that he had apparently cut off from a person that had owed him money to make a statement not to ****ing with me. After extensive searching I have been unable to find any information about the incident. Can someone shed some light on this and hopefully help with the missing piece of information needed to find anything available on the Internet. Thanks in advance for the help.

Having grown up 1/2-mile from Arlington Heights and taking the bus through there every weekday from about 1993-96 with a dozen kids from there... I've never heard about this, so I'm gonna put the likelihood of its truth at 0%.

is it possible said "friend" has his mind clouded with too many drugs, and is confusing a news item on ISIS with a sports feature on Lebron?

That sounds weird...but this incident from 1982 is both equally creepy and true:
