William Edward Spann Jr., 75, was found dead in a burning minivan in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood on September 11, 2019. The Cook County Medical Examiner determined he died from multiple gunshot wounds and ruled the death a homicide. His body was discovered in the passenger seat while the vehicle was engulfed in flames.

Area South detectives led the investigation into both the shootings and the subsequent fire. No suspects had been identified and no arrests were announced as of the latest account. Spann’s family, friends and the Englewood community called for justice and supporters created a GoFundMe to raise a reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

What details might someone who knew Mr. Spann or who was in Englewood that night remember that could help investigators?
