Victor Hudson, a 30-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on June 13, 2020, in the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago. Officers responded about 3:45 a.m. to the 1300 block of North Kildare Avenue after reports of shots fired and found Hudson unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds to his head and body. He was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead; the Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide from gunshot wounds.

Investigators say surveillance video and a witness tied 30-year-old Robert Matthews to the shooting. Matthews and a female witness had been drinking in her apartment earlier; Hudson knocked on her bedroom door, was sent away, then went to check on an acquaintance at another building on Kildare. The acquaintance went to retrieve a cigarette from his parked car, and Matthews allegedly confronted him there and fired five shots, one passing through Hudson’s skull. The acquaintance witnessed the shooting and the female witness identified Matthews; police located Matthews peering from a nearby alley and took him into custody. A bullet recovered from the female witness’s dresser was matched to shell casings from the scene.

Hudson was one of two people killed and 31 wounded by shootings in Chicago that weekend. Does anyone have information about Hudson’s movements that night or saw the surveillance footage referenced in the investigation?
