Robert Chitty, a 49-year-old African American man from Chicago, was fatally shot in his basement apartment in the Calumet Heights neighborhood on June 15, 2020. Chitty, who used a wheelchair after double leg amputation, was found wounded and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center where he was pronounced dead; an autopsy ruled the cause of death multiple gunshot wounds and the manner homicide.

According to the investigation, arguing was heard at about 8:10 a.m., followed by gunfire. Surveillance shows a former roommate, Christopher Campbell, entering the home carrying a cooler and leaving shortly after the shooting. Campbell allegedly returned after being evicted the day before, armed with a .22 caliber Ruger long rifle; police say two men were shot, Chitty and 61-year-old Michael Shelton, who was also found dead in the basement. Officers recovered the cooler, the rifle and other evidence in a car at a nearby church parking lot.

Campbell was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and held without bail; court proceedings were scheduled for July 22, 2020. If anyone knew Robert, Michael Shelton or has information about what happened that morning, please share what can help the investigation.
