Chicago police have released surveillance footage of the gunman investigators believe is responsible for murdering a teenage boy and injuring a man in the Loop last Friday night.
The video clips released early Wednesday show a man wearing a tan jacket over a purple tracksuit or onesie pulling a gun and aiming it toward a crowd of people gathered in the 100 block of South Dearborn Street around 10:37 p.m.
An 18-year-old man was wounded and 14-year-old Armani Floyd was killed.
The shooting came just a few minutes after another gunman shot seven people near the Chicago Theatre on State Street as large crowds of young people lingered in the Loop following the annual Christmas tree lighting.
CPD asked anyone with information about the man to contact Det. Goodrich at Area Three by calling 312-744-8261 or submitting an anonymous tip at CPDTIP.com using case number JJ498045.
Cook County Crime Stoppers has also offered a $10,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest. The organization can be reached at 1-800-535-STOP. Tipsters remain anonymous.
“Crime Stoppers offers complete anonymity; your name will never be asked, your call will never be traced, and your information will remain confidential,” said Paul Rutherford, the organization’s executive director.
