Dante A. Morris was a 33-year-old Black man from Maywood who was shot and killed in Chicago’s West Garfield Park neighborhood in the pre-dawn hours of July 28, 2020. Officers responded around 4 a.m. to the 4500 block of West Van Buren Street and found Morris with multiple gunshot wounds to his chest, arm, and ear. He was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

A 37-year-old man was also shot on the same block, suffering wounds to his legs, abdomen, and lower back; he managed to run to the 4500 block of West Congress Parkway and was driven to Stroger Hospital in fair condition. Area Four detectives opened a homicide investigation and noted the attack happened minutes after, and a few blocks from, a separate fatal shooting, though any connection was unclear. As of July 2020, no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone witnessed the shootings or has information about what happened that morning, please share tips with investigators.
