Cordai E Dai Ealy, also known as Edai 600, was a 32-year-old African American man and a recognized figure in Chicago’s drill rap scene. On August 1, 2021, at about 12:20 a.m., he was standing outside on the 7200-block of South Bennett Avenue in the South Shore neighborhood when an unknown assailant approached and shot him multiple times in the chest and stomach. He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Ealy’s music and influence were noted within the local rap community; he was the brother of rapper Cdai, who is serving a 38-year sentence for a 2014 murder.

Does anyone who followed Edai 600’s music or lived in South Shore at the time have information that could help investigators?
