Jacek Rudnicki, a 44-year-old Polish-American tech professional, was found shot to death on February 6, 2022, near 24th and Michigan Avenue in Chicago’s South Loop. He had been driving his mother’s Mercedes SUV to a party on the Near South Side. Police discovered his body in the street around 4:30 a.m. with two gunshot wounds; his cell phone and wallet remained on him while the Mercedes was missing. Bullet casings and broken car glass at the scene indicate a violent encounter.

In the days before the killing, nine cars were stolen from the parking garage of the high-rise where Jacek lived with his parents, Joanna and Marek Rudnicki. Jacek’s vehicle was not among those initially taken. The Mercedes was later recovered on the South Side using the vehicle’s GPS tracker. Chicago police investigated and reviewed security footage from the garage and the area of the shooting, but no arrests or public identification of suspects had been announced.

If anyone has information about Jacek’s movements that night or the recovered Mercedes, please come forward with tips that might help the investigation.
