Anthony Morris, a 37-year-old African American man, was shot and killed inside a grocery store in Maywood, Illinois, on December 19, 2017. The shooting happened about 11 a.m. in the 1100 block of Madison Street. Officers arriving at the store found Morris and a woman with gunshot wounds; both were taken to Loyola University Medical Center, where Morris was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Investigators say the shooter fled in a vehicle and was later identified from nearby business video as 32-year-old Jeramie Embry. Embry was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. The woman, who had been at the store with her son, survived and ran across the street to her son’s preschool after being shot. The motive was not immediately clear as the investigation continued.

Did anyone in the area see activity around the grocery store that morning or know Morris or the woman who was wounded?
