Dearl Butler Jr., 22, was shot and killed in a drive-by on June 12, 2021, while sitting in his parked Dodge Charger on the 600 block of South Wells Street in Chicago’s South Loop. A white Kia sedan pulled up beside his car around 1:20 p.m.; the gunman fired more than 60 rounds, striking Dearl 14 times. He was taken to Stroger Hospital but did not survive. His vehicle collided with another car after the shooting, and a dog that had been in the Charger was injured but survived.

The Cook County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide. Family members say Dearl worked two jobs and helped care for his sister, who has autism, and they believe he may have been killed by mistake. Area One detectives are investigating, and police have not identified any suspects or announced arrests.

Did anyone see a white Kia in the South Loop that afternoon or have information that could help investigators?
