Alexandria Alexa M. Baute, 27, was killed on the evening of April 7, 2020, outside a 7-Eleven in Logan Square while waiting in a socially distanced line. Shortly after 8 p.m. a bullet struck her in the chest on the 2900 block of West Fullerton Avenue; she was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in critical condition and later died. Authorities ruled her death a homicide caused by a gunshot wound.

Police said investigators did not believe Baute was deliberately targeted and described her as an innocent bystander struck by a stray bullet, though they did not publicly identify an intended target or the exact origin of the gunfire. Detectives recovered surveillance footage from the area and sought images of a shooter, vehicles and witnesses; despite the busy location no publicly identified suspect had emerged. Her family and friends organized a fundraiser and offered a reward, reported as $6,000 then later as $8,000, and returned to the scene to appeal for information.

Does anyone who was near Milwaukee and Fullerton on April 7, 2020, remember seeing activity, vehicles or people that could help identify who fired the shots?
