Michael Carney, a 26-year-old African American barber, was shot and killed on October 21, 2018, in Harvey, Illinois. The shooting occurred at a gas station near 150th Street and Dixie Highway. Despite being critically wounded, Carney drove his car with his 5-year-old daughter inside to a nearby intersection before he succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Investigators named 27-year-old Perry Gosa of Matteson as the primary suspect; he was identified as the ex-boyfriend of Carney’s girlfriend and was reportedly seen following Carney before the shooting. An arrest warrant charging Gosa with first-degree murder was issued October 25, 2018, and he surrendered to authorities on November 14, 2018, at the Markham Courthouse and was charged with first-degree murder pending a bail hearing.

Carney’s barbershop, Dna Styles in Harvey, served notable clients including Chicago Bears players such as Khalil Mack and Prince Amukamara. The community mourned his death and his role as a father.
