Jason E. Goodfriend, 31, was found fatally shot in his car on January 7, 2017, in the University Village neighborhood of Chicago. He was discovered slumped over the wheel of a still-running vehicle; the Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide after an autopsy showed a gunshot wound to the head. Goodfriend worked as business manager at Chicago Tech Academy and lived in Humboldt Park. He was a Wheaton native and a graduate of Warrenville South High School and the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Friends and colleagues described him as genuine, honest, and sincere. A GoFundMe was created to help his family with funeral and other expenses.
