Donald Ruben, 60, was shot in the head and killed while walking in an alley in the Pullman neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side just after midnight on August 24, 2019. The shooting occurred during what police described as a sudden act of violence that left neighbors and family grieving.

The Chicago Police Department opened an investigation but announced no immediate arrests or identified suspects. Investigators reported limited witnesses and little concrete evidence, which hindered efforts to reconstruct the events and locate those responsible. No litigation or court cases connected to the killing have been reported.

The murder remains unsolved and the family has been left seeking justice and closure. If anyone saw activity in the Pullman alley around midnight on August 24, 2019, or has information that could help, please come forward.
