Richard Buick, 30, was shot to death outside Moving Everest Charter School in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago on November 15, 2019. Buick was sitting in the driver’s seat of his SUV about 9:30 a.m. on the 400 block of North Laramie Avenue when a gunman approached and fired multiple times. He was struck several times, including two shots to the head, and died at the scene; the Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

The vehicle continued moving after the shooting and crashed into two poles. Two school staff members, a school nurse and a former paramedic, attempted CPR but Buick did not survive. The school was placed on lockdown while police searched for the shooter.

Investigators identified 27-year-old Michael Dent as the primary suspect and charged him with first-degree murder. Prosecutors say Dent had an active order of protection and had gone to the school to pick up his daughter; when he was not allowed to remove her from class he became agitated, and shortly afterward Dent allegedly approached Buick and fired with a .40-caliber handgun. Dent fled, an arrest warrant was issued November 20, 2019, and U.S. Marshals captured him December 10, 2019, in Vacaville, California. Surveillance footage and the victim’s ex-girlfriend identifying Dent were reported as linking him to the shooting.

Did anyone on the West Side see Buick’s SUV or the events near the school that morning?
