Jose L. Navarro, 47, was killed on July 10, 2018, in Chicago’s South Side Gage Park neighborhood after being beaten and shot. Navarro was found lying in an alley and taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead at 11:10 p.m. The Cook County Medical Examiner listed his address as the 2400 block of West 24th Street in the Heart of Italy neighborhood.

According to charges filed afterward, the events began when someone tried to break into the home where Bobby Spears and Darius Weems were staying. Spears fought off the intruder and called Deshun Williams for help. When Williams arrived, the three men reportedly spotted Navarro, chased him, caught him, and beat him. Williams was charged with first-degree murder for shooting Navarro in the back of the neck at the base of the skull; Spears, 27, and Weems, 26, were charged with aggravated battery. At a hearing at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse, Williams was ordered held without bail and bail for Spears and Weems was set at $10,000 each. Both Spears and Weems had no prior criminal background and this was their first arrest.

Does anyone have information about Navarro’s movements in the Gage Park area on July 10, 2018, or about witnesses who saw him that night?
