Damien L. Snerling, a 40-year-old African American man, was killed on April 28, 2019, in the Fuller Park neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. He was on his way to pick up a friend when, as he exited a parked car in the 4400 block of South Wells Street, an unidentified man approached, flashed a handgun and began shooting. Snerling was struck in the forehead and multiple times in the body and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office confirmed the shooting. Area Central detectives have investigated but no one has been taken into custody, and the case remains open. Those who knew Snerling described him as a nice, hardworking, family-oriented guy whose death has left a void for his loved ones and the neighborhood.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact investigators.
