Tyrese Jones, a 41-year-old African American man, was found dead in his Chicago apartment on July 19, 2020. Initial reports state he suffered multiple gunshot wounds and the Chicago Police Department opened a homicide investigation after witnesses reported loud arguments and gunshots coming from the residence that night.

No arrests were made immediately. Investigators identified several persons of interest but did not charge anyone at first. Later in the investigation new forensic evidence reportedly linked a 35-year-old male suspect to the scene and that suspect was arrested and charged with first-degree murder; the suspect’s identity has not been disclosed. Jones’s family has filed a civil wrongful death suit against the same suspect.

The case has drawn public attention and discussion about gun violence and community safety in Chicago. If anyone knew Tyrese, was in that building, or heard what happened that night, please share information that could help.
