Chicago police have released video clips of the person they believe is responsible for murdering a man in an Uptown alley last autumn. Now, they’re hoping someone will recognize the killer.
Around 7:37 p.m. on October 1, police responded to a call about an injured man on the ground and found the 57-year-old victim in an alley behind the 900 block of West Eastwood. He had suffered a single gunshot wound near his right upper hip.
Based on a preliminary investigation, police suspected the man was shot about 30 minutes before anyone called 911. Some witnesses said they saw someone run from the alley and jump into a silver car parked in a nearby McDonald’s lot. The vehicle fled the scene.
CPD asks anyone who recognizes the individual in the video clips to contact Det. Jeff Bartel at 312-744-8261 or [email protected]. The case number is JH-451964.
