Jeremy Head, a 28-year-old man from Chicago, was shot to death on August 9, 2021, inside a laundromat in the West Garfield Park neighborhood. He was found around 3:30 p.m. with a fatal gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene; the Cook County medical examiner’s office confirmed his identity.

A 69-year-old man was also shot in the arm and taken to Stroger Hospital in good condition. Several months after the shooting, a 17-year-old was arrested on the Near West Side and charged with first-degree murder; the teen’s name has not been released because he is a minor.

The case drew attention to gun violence in West Garfield Park and the community’s grief over Jeremy Head’s death. If anyone witnessed the shooting at the laundromat or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
