Leon Allen, 66, was shot while walking along the 4600 block of West Van Buren Street in West Garfield Park on the morning of October 19, 2021. A white van pulled up, someone inside opened fire, and Allen was struck.

In the days after the shooting his identity became public and memorials and an obituary recorded his name, age, and ties to Chicago. Contemporaneous accounts consistently describe the vehicle and a quick escape; police said detectives were investigating but no suspects or arrests were announced.

Did anyone in West Garfield Park see the white van or have information about that morning?
