Taurus Murry, 25, was fatally shot on October 6, 2020, while sitting in a vehicle in the Avalon Park neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting occurred about 2 p.m. in the 1400 block of East 79th Street. Murry and a 26-year-old woman were in the car when a white SUV pulled up, two males exited and opened fire. Murry was struck multiple times and later pronounced dead at the University of Chicago Medical Center; the woman was shot in the leg and stabilized at the same hospital.

The Cook County Medical Examiner confirmed Murry’s identity and that he lived in South Chicago. Area Two detectives handled the investigation, and no arrests were made immediately following the attack; the suspects remained at large.
