Warren W. Strenger, 26, of Chicago was killed on April 17, 2018, while on a lunch break in the West Chatham neighborhood. Strenger and two friends were walking through a strip mall parking lot in the 200 block of West 87th Street when a black minivan pulled up. Anthony Bell, 22, and Antonio Henderson, 31, were in the vehicle. Bell exited and pointed a gun; after a brief exchange Henderson asked Strenger where he was from and, when Strenger said no, Bell opened fire. Strenger was struck multiple times and died at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn; a 35-year-old man was also shot in the right arm.

Police officers who witnessed the shooting followed the minivan as Henderson led them on a high-speed chase onto the Dan Ryan Expressway. The vehicle crashed into the center median after sideswiping a truck; both suspects tried to flee on foot and were quickly apprehended. The firearm used was recovered from the minivan. The Cook County Medical Examiner ruled Strenger’s death a homicide, and Bell and Henderson were charged and ordered held without bail.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about the events in the West Chatham parking lot that day, please share what is known.
