Kenneth Mickey, a 61-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on April 1, 2022, in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood. The shooting happened around 12:30 p.m. while Mickey was using an ATM at a gas station at 76th and Marquette. Surveillance footage shows two men approached him at the ATM; all three then left the gas station together and walked south on Exchange Avenue and west on 76th Place. Witnesses reported hearing four to five gunshots. Mickey was found with gunshot wounds and later died at South Shore Hospital.

An investigation identified 18-year-old Jeremiah Bush from surveillance video and witness accounts. He was arrested about an hour after the shooting in Chatham after attempting to hide a firearm under a porch; that gun was recovered. Ballistics testing matched the firearm to shell casings at the scene, and gunshot residue was found on Bush’s jacket. Bush was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and held without bail.

Did anyone in the area see what happened that afternoon or have additional information about the events leading up to the shooting?
