Thaddeus Flanagan, a 29-year-old African American man from the West Pullman neighborhood, was fatally shot on November 23, 2018, in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. The shooting happened about 10:08 a.m. while Flanagan and another man were sitting in a vehicle in the 900 block of West 50th Street. A white Porsche SUV drove past and a passenger opened fire, striking Flanagan in the upper left chest. He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and pronounced dead at 10:40 a.m.; an autopsy confirmed death from a gunshot wound to the chest and the manner of death was ruled a homicide.

The other man in the vehicle, a 23-year-old, was shot in the lower abdomen and hospitalized; his condition was stabilized. The white Porsche fled east on 50th Street, then north on Halsted Street. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the motive remains unclear.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about the white Porsche or its occupants, please share what is known with investigators.
