Peter Puleo, 34, was killed on January 9, 2018, in Logan Square on Chicago’s Northwest Side after a traffic dispute with 51-year-old Marc Johnson of the Austin neighborhood. According to witnesses and surveillance footage, the dispute continued after both men followed one another to a corner store in the 1600 block of North Albany. Both exited their vehicles and argued while Puleo went into and out of the store; the men then fought and Puleo punched Johnson, who fell. Johnson reportedly retrieved a handgun and struck Puleo in the neck and head, producing a fatal wound. Puleo was pronounced dead at the scene and the death was ruled a homicide by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Johnson was identified by multiple witnesses and surveillance and was charged with first-degree murder; he was denied bond at a court hearing. His attorney said he lived with his mother and nephew and worked for a sewer repair company and sometimes as a truck driver. A court date was scheduled for February 6, 2018. Does anyone have information about the confrontation or the events leading up to it?
