Anthony Douglas, 35, was fatally shot on November 1, 2021, in the Canaryville neighborhood of Chicago in the 4600 block of South Emerald Avenue. Douglas had gone to the home of his cousin, Frederick Smith, to retrieve personal belongings. Accompanied by a woman who knew both men, Douglas became agitated after he believed Smith had not returned all of his property. After knocking and calling without a response, Douglas went to the back of the house.

Surveillance footage later showed Smith shooting Douglas multiple times, including in the head, while Douglas was on the ground. Police responding to a ShotSpotter alert found Douglas on the sidewalk with nine gunshot wounds: two to the head, one to the neck, two to the chest, two to the right shoulder, and two to the right hand. Smith fled in a vehicle and was arrested within 48 hours. He was charged with first-degree murder, convicted of second-degree murder at trial, and sentenced to 20 years in prison. Smith was on electronic monitoring for a pending narcotics case at the time; prosecutors were not able to charge him with escaping electronic monitoring because Illinois law decriminalized violations under 48 hours.
