Marcel O’Neal, a 43-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on April 19, 2019, in the Altgeld Gardens neighborhood on Chicago’s Southeast Side. He was walking on the sidewalk in the 700 block of East 131st Street at about 3:20 p.m. when an assailant emerged from a dark-colored car and shot him multiple times. Marcel was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and died there at 4:14 p.m.; an autopsy the next day confirmed multiple gunshot wounds and ruled the death a homicide.

Area South detectives are leading the investigation. No arrests have been announced and the shooter remains at large; investigators say there are no identified suspects. Marcel lived in the Golden Gate neighborhood, and his death has had a deep impact on his family and community. The case remains open; are there any witnesses or neighbors who saw the dark-colored car that afternoon?
