Anthony Del Barrio, 30, of Chicago, was found dead in Morton Grove, Illinois, on January 20, 2019. His body was discovered frozen between two houses on Oleander Avenue; an autopsy found a fatal gunshot wound and his death was ruled a homicide. The Morton Grove Police Department and the North Regional Major Crimes Task Force are handling the investigation.

Del Barrio had been with a friend overnight between January 19 and January 20 and the two were described as hanging out outside a vehicle when the shooting occurred. Footprints in the snow show Del Barrio had walked around the area beforehand, and only one shot is believed to have been fired. Police have not determined whether Del Barrio or his companion was the intended target. Del Barrio’s pickup was located about a block and a half from the body and his family said he owned a debris removal business but did not know why he was in Morton Grove.

No arrests or suspects have been identified and investigators continue to pursue phone records and social media history and to interview residents. If anyone knew Anthony, his movements that night, or saw anything on Oleander Avenue around January 19–20, please come forward with information.
