Andre Charleston, a 56-year-old African American man, was shot to death on July 22, 2018, in the Eden Green neighborhood on Chicago’s Far South Side. The shooting took place around 10:50 p.m. in the 300 block of East 130th Street after an argument with another individual. That person produced a handgun and fired, striking Charleston multiple times. He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and died there; an autopsy the next day confirmed death from multiple gunshot wounds and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled it a homicide.

Area South detectives and the Chicago Police Department opened a homicide investigation that included evidence collection and witness interviews. No immediate arrests or suspects were identified and the case remained open as investigators sought information. Charleston was remembered by people who knew him as charismatic, humble, and wise, and his family and community were left grieving.

If anyone has information about the events on July 22, 2018, in the 300 block of East 130th Street, please come forward to assist investigators.
