Ben Sims was 36 when he was killed during a home invasion at his South Shore residence on the 7500 block of South Saginaw Avenue in Chicago on September 21, 2021. The intrusion happened about 5:30 a.m. while Sims was preparing for work; he confronted three masked intruders to protect his family and was shot multiple times. He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Investigators arrested 18-year-old Timothy Wynn and charged him with first-degree murder and home invasion. Wynn and two others were located in a nearby apartment after a canine unit and SWAT search; prosecutors say Wynn provided the firearm used and admitted involvement. The two others were released without charges pending further investigation. Wynn was denied bail and remains in custody as the legal process continues.

Ben Sims is remembered for his bravery and dedication to his family. Does anyone who lived in South Shore that morning have information about suspicious activity near Saginaw Avenue around 5:30 a.m.?
