Darian Neal Sr., 37, was shot and killed on December 19, 2022, while sitting in his Nissan Maxima in the rooftop parking lot of a Mariano’s grocery store in West Town, Chicago. Two men in an unknown car approached, got out with guns and opened fire, discharging more than 30 rounds. Neal was struck in the head and later died at Stroger Hospital. The attackers drove off in a large black SUV with out-of-state plates.

The Chicago Police Department and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the shooting. Area Three detectives are investigating, and police noted use of a rifle and are looking at possible links to a later shooting at the same Mariano’s where more than 20 rounds were fired at a different person. No arrests have been announced and the motive remains unknown.

Anyone with information about the rooftop shooting, the large black SUV, or the two men who exited the vehicle is asked to come forward.
