Michael Harris, a 66-year-old African American man from Forest Park, Illinois, died after being shot in the early hours of June 10, 2018. Police were called to the intersection of Elgin Avenue and Adams Street for reports of shots fired and a man down; officers found Harris on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound and he died shortly after being discovered.

Investigators arrested 23-year-old Martell Dorsey of Maywood following a brief chase and a search in Oak Park, where he was found hiding in a crawl space. Officers recovered a stolen Glock pistol near the scene and Dorsey was found in possession of ammunition. The pistol had been reported stolen from an auxiliary Forest Park police officer’s locked car the day before the shooting. Dorsey was charged with first-degree murder and felony murder in the commission of a robbery; the Forest Park investigative division worked with the West Suburban Major Crimes Task Force and Forensics, and eyewitness accounts and the recovered weapon were cited as part of the case against him.

Does anyone have information about Michael Harris, that night at Elgin and Adams, or about the case that could help fill in details?
