Michael Whitford, a 49-year-old man from Chicago, was fatally shot on July 14, 2017. According to reports, he was shot in the back as he was getting out of a car in the 10600 block of South Green Bay Avenue in the East Side neighborhood, just before 10:45 p.m. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center but died of his injuries.

Police described the shooter as firing from inside a white SUV. The attack occurred during an especially violent weekend in the city that saw multiple shootings. No arrests or suspects were announced at the time, and investigators said the sudden nature of the attack and a lack of witnesses hindered early leads. Whitford’s wife Angie and their children have been identified as surviving family members who held vigils and community events seeking tips.
