Qiaoming Shao, a 57-year-old Asian man, was shot and killed on September 27, 2021, while delivering food on Chicago’s Near West Side. The shooting happened about 8:30 p.m. in the 1300 block of West Grenshaw Street. Shao was sitting in his car when someone approached and opened fire, striking him in the chest. He was taken to Stroger Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Eighteen-year-old Anthony Watts was arrested shortly after the shooting and charged with first-degree murder and a misdemeanor count of obstructing identification.
