Brandon Yates, a 28-year-old African American man from Chicago, was found with multiple gunshot wounds and died at the scene on January 19, 2021. Witnesses reported hearing several gunshots and seeing a vehicle speed away from the residential area where he was located. Investigators concluded he had been targeted in what appeared to be a premeditated attack.

Federal authorities later announced arrests related to the case, including the indictment of 39-year-old relative Christopher Yates on charges that include murder-for-hire, conspiracy to commit murder, and unlawful transfer of a firearm and ammunition. Prosecutors say Christopher Yates allegedly plotted to kill two witnesses expected to testify in a separate murder case involving another relative, Brandon Wilson, and that he discussed recruiting someone, providing a firearm and ammunition, and disguising the killings as random street violence. Recorded audio of conversations was described as part of the evidence presented by prosecutors.

Does anyone have information about the night of January 19, 2021, or about activity near the scene that could help investigators?
