Samuel Isaac Wiener, 24, of Chicago, died on March 24, 2020, after being found unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the head in an apartment in Rogers Park. A handgun was recovered nearby and he was pronounced dead after transport to St. Francis Hospital. The medical examiner withheld a ruling on cause of death pending the police investigation.

Garett Young, 22, who was present that night, called 911 and reported that Samuel had shot himself. Young was later arrested on misdemeanor counts of unlawful use of a weapon and aggravated assault. A downstairs witness, a 26-year-old woman, told police Young had been arguing with another person and had brandished a handgun and threatened to shoot her shortly before Samuel was found.

No charges have been filed in Samuel’s death as of the last update and detectives continue to investigate how the events that night led to his death. If anyone knew Samuel, the people in that Rogers Park building, or saw activity there on March 24, 2020, please come forward with information.
