Anthony M. Rice, 24, was fatally shot on January 24, 2021, in Chicago’s Auburn Gresham neighborhood after an altercation with a friend, Terrence Riley. According to accounts, the argument began when Rice struck a female acquaintance with a key fob; a physical confrontation followed between Rice and Riley. Witnesses said Riley shot Rice three times in the back as Rice attempted to re-enter his home. Rice was taken to Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, where he later died.

Riley was arrested soon after and asserted self-defense. A judge found those claims implausible, noting there was no gunfire damage indicating Rice had fired a weapon. Riley was being held without bail and the case moved forward in court.
