Alexander Davis, a 29-year-old African American man from Chicago, was shot to death on July 16, 2021, in the Austin neighborhood on the city’s West Side. The shooting happened about 11:55 p.m. while Davis and three other men were standing outside in the 700 block of North Lockwood Avenue. Three individuals approached and opened fire; Davis was struck in the head and back and was pronounced dead at the scene. The Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Three other men were wounded: a 40-year-old with gunshot wounds to the hip and leg, a 45-year-old struck in the leg, and a 62-year-old who sustained a graze wound to the back. The injured were taken to Stroger Hospital; the 40-year-old and 45-year-old were reported in serious condition, the 62-year-old in good condition.

Investigators say the shooters were seen fleeing in a gray Nissan that was later linked to 23-year-old Antonio Cole. Security camera footage and other evidence led to the identification and arrests of two men: Cole, who allegedly admitted to being one of the gunmen and was ordered held without bail, and 21-year-old Ladarius Scott, who was charged with first-degree murder and arrested on September 10, 2021. A third person has been arrested in connection with the shooting; charges have not been filed.

Did anyone in the Austin neighborhood see the gray Nissan or have information about the people outside on North Lockwood Avenue that night?
