Lesean Long, 32, was shot and killed on February 28, 2021, in the Brainerd neighborhood of Chicago. He was found unresponsive in front of a home on the 9100 block of South Emerald Avenue and pronounced dead at the scene. Officers reported seeing a gold Chrysler minivan flee the area; the vehicle escaped before it could be stopped.

Police identified 23-year-old Cartez McGary as the shooter and arrested him on July 8, 2021. Investigators said the shooting followed a dispute over a half-pound of marijuana. Shell casings from a March 17, 2021 gas station robbery and shooting were reported to match those from Long’s murder. McGary pleaded guilty to murder and to discharging a firearm during a robbery and received a sentence of 25 years for the murder and eight years for the robbery incident under a plea deal; the aggravated fleeing case he had been on bail for was dropped.

Does anyone have information about Long’s last known movements or about the gold Chrysler minivan seen leaving the scene?
