Stanley A. Butler III, 21, was shot to death inside a home in the 1700 block of Dodge Avenue in Evanston shortly after 10:27 p.m. on September 4, 2021. Paramedics treated him at the scene but he was pronounced dead; police and the medical examiner later confirmed his name.

Investigators concluded Butler had been targeted. Initial reports say multiple offenders entered the residence, shot him and fled. Responding officers saw a Saturn Vue leaving the area; it was later found at the Skokie Swift Yellow Line station where the driver was detained and two firearms and gloves were visible on the passenger seat. Days later, 19-year-old Alejandro Lopez of Waukegan was charged with first-degree murder, home invasion with discharge of a firearm, and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and held without bond. Authorities said additional offenders remained at large and asked the public for tips.

If anyone has information about who entered the Dodge Avenue residence that night or saw the Saturn Vue, please share what is known with investigators.
