Michael Upshaw, a 24-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on April 6, 2020, in the South Lawndale neighborhood of Chicago. He was found unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the chest in the 2100 block of South Central Park Avenue at about 9:20 a.m., taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead. The Cook County medical examiner ruled his death a homicide.

Investigators say the shooter was 26-year-old Henry Hughes, who was on GPS electronic monitoring at the time. Hughes had previously faced charges including felony aggravated battery of a child causing great bodily harm and felony domestic battery causing harm with prior convictions; he was released on bail and under monitoring before the April shooting. After the killing Hughes was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder and is being held without bail. Area Central detectives are leading the homicide investigation.

Does anyone have information about Upshaw’s movements that morning or about activity near the 2100 block of South Central Park Avenue?
