Demarcus Ealey, 29, was fatally shot on January 19, 2018, outside a liquor store in the 2900 block of East 79th Street in Chicago. The shooting happened about 6:35 p.m. while Ealey, who lived in the Gresham neighborhood on the South Side, was standing outside the store. A person described as wearing a camouflage jacket over a black hoodie exited the store and shot Ealey in the head, then fled north on Escanaba.

Ealey was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead the following day at 12:04 a.m. The Chicago Police Department and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the circumstances, and Area Central detectives opened a homicide investigation. No arrests had been made immediately after the shooting and detectives continued to seek information that could identify the shooter.

Did anyone in the area see the person who ran north on Escanaba or have other information about that night?
