Anthony J. Adams, 55, was shot and killed inside a building hallway in the 7900 block of South Kingston Avenue in South Chicago on January 12, 2019. The incident began as an argument about garbage; shortly after 12:30 p.m. the other man left, returned with a handgun, and shot Adams in the head. Adams, who lived in the Roseland neighborhood on the Far South Side, was pronounced dead at the scene about fifteen minutes later. An autopsy ruled his death a homicide from a gunshot wound.

Police identified a suspect within days and on January 14, 2019 charged 62-year-old Karl Battiste with first-degree murder; a judge ordered him held without bail and set a follow-up court date for February 1, 2019. The criminal case was active but unresolved as of the last court listing. Does anyone have information about Adams, the building on South Kingston Avenue, or witnesses to the January 12 incident?
