Anthony Faulkner, a 20-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on January 9, 2021, at the AK Food Mart at 93rd and Halsted. Surveillance footage reportedly shows Jason Nightengale, 32, entering the store, shooting Faulkner in the head, then taking money and leaving. Nightengale’s violence that day was part of a shooting spree that began earlier on Chicago’s South Side and continued into Evanston, leaving three people dead and several others wounded.

Other victims named from the spree include Aisha Nevell, 46, a security guard, and Yiran Fan, 30, a doctoral student. An 81-year-old woman was critically injured in the convenience store shooting. Nightengale was later shot and killed by police in Evanston after an exchange of gunfire. Reports say Nightengale had a history of erratic behavior and prior run-ins with the law, but the motive for the attacks has not been established.

Faulkner had recently moved back to Chicago from Minnesota after losing his job during the COVID-19 pandemic. His family held a vigil remembering him as loving and kind, and called for justice after his death.

Does anyone have information about Faulkner’s life in Chicago or the events at AK Food Mart that day?
