Michael Conrad, 37, was killed in a drive-by shooting on May 6, 2022, in Chicago’s Albany Park neighborhood. The shooting happened about 7:45 p.m. in the 4400 block of North Hamlin Avenue while Conrad was seated in his white Chrysler. Someone in another vehicle opened fire; Conrad was shot in the chest, tried to drive away, struck several parked cars and then his vehicle rolled over at Cullom and Lawndale avenues. He was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators concluded the attack was targeted. A 17-year-old, Branko Fager, was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated battery by discharging a firearm; prosecutors say he wore a ski mask and fired more than 20 shots from the passenger seat of a stolen car. An accomplice, Jyquwon McClellan, was charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. Phone location data and conversations on the suspects’ phones are reported to place them at the scene and show planning discussions; the stolen vehicle used in the attack was later set on fire in Northlake. The motive for killing Conrad has not been reported.

Did anyone in the area see the vehicles or the crash that night, or have information about Conrad’s movements that evening?
