Daniel Archer, 35, was fatally shot on the evening of October 28, 2021, in the 10000 block of South Emerald Avenue in the Fernwood neighborhood on Chicago’s Far South Side. The shooting happened about 6:50 p.m.; Archer was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Area Two detectives with the Chicago Police Department handled the investigation.

Investigators say the inquiry has been hampered by a lack of witnesses and concrete leads, and police have appealed to the public for information. Family and community members have expressed frustration and are seeking closure.

If anyone was in the Fernwood area that evening or has information about Archer’s movements or potential witnesses, please share what you know with investigators.
