Two suspects linked to multiple armed robberies are under arrest after a caring single mother-of-two died as she drove to hospital after being shot in the chest at an Illinois ATM.

Jonnie Angel Klein had just dropped off her 15-year-old son when she pulled into the Chase Bank ATM on West 111th Street in Worth at 3pm on Saturday.

Seconds later the 32-year-old was fatally shot in an apparent robbery leaving her son and her 10-year-old daughter orphaned.

Police arrested Jason Jerry Joseph Johnson, 23, and Tamara Jailynn Johnson, 22, the following day and revealed the pair from the nearby district of Harvey are linked to recent armed robberies across the area and northwest Indiana.

‘Multiple firearms were recovered, one of which is believed to be the weapon used in the homicide,’ Worth Police Department said in a statement.

Klein’s devastated relatives have paid tribute to the ‘light of our family’ who was also the carer for her elderly mother as she battles cancer.

And a Gofundme page has been set up to help provide for her children’s future.

‘She worked tirelessly to provide for her family without complaint,’ organizer Jacquelyn Valasek wrote.

‘She faced many battles head on; she was a warrior that never gave up.

‘Through her positive presence and servant attitude she shone God’s light into so many peoples lives without even knowing it.’

A former schoolfriend remembered Kelin’s kindness to her when she became pregnant in high school.

‘Everyone who knows Jonnie knew she carried herself very well and strongly but was the most caring , selfless person there is,’ wrote Angie Bustamantez on Facebook.

‘She was the person who from day one would always keep it real with you.

‘When I was pregnant in high school, she took me under her wing, befriended me and helped guide me as she was a young mother too.

‘When I first had Louis she was one of our first visitors, she just kept telling me how beautiful my son was and how proud she was of me.

‘I am in complete disbelief.’

Klein’s cousin Nick Klein said the biggest concern was now her two bereaved children.

‘She’s always been the light of our family, taking care of her mother, brother and kids,’ he said.

‘She’s always been that person. She would give you the shirt off her back.’

The arrested couple are due to appear at Cook County Courthouse in Bridgeview charged with her murder later today.
