Eric Thompson, a 39-year-old African American man from Chicago, was found with multiple gunshot wounds and died on June 16, 2019, in a neighborhood described as having high crime rates. His death was treated as a violent homicide and investigated by the Chicago Police Department.

Investigators initially questioned several people. Attention later focused on a possible love triangle involving Thompson, his estranged wife, and another man. Jon Tokuhara was identified as the primary suspect and was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. The prosecution said jealousy and fear of losing the relationship motivated the killing; the defense emphasized a lack of direct forensic evidence and questioned witness credibility.

The first trial ended in a hung jury and a mistrial. A retrial introduced surveillance footage and phone records that prosecutors said strengthened the case, but that jury also remained divided and produced another mistrial. The investigation remains open and the family continues to seek justice.

Did anyone in Chicago at the time see or hear anything that could shed light on who was responsible?
