Michael Maxey, a 53-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on December 18, 2018, while sitting in a vehicle in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood. The Chicago Police Department has investigated the killing and questioned several suspects, but no arrests have been made.

Investigators say the probe has been hampered by a lack of eyewitnesses and limited physical evidence. The victim’s family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the City of Chicago, alleging the police department’s handling of the investigation was inadequate and reflecting broader concerns about accountability. Community members have organized vigils and marches in support of the family.

If anyone has information about the shooting of Michael Maxey or remembers seeing him in Englewood on December 18, 2018, please come forward to assist the investigation.
