Darius Minter, a 36-year-old African American man from Midlothian, Illinois, was fatally shot on December 21, 2016 while sitting in his car in an apartment complex parking lot at 147th Street and Turner Avenue. He had been warming up his vehicle to drive his wife to work when witnesses reported hearing gunfire at about 7 a.m. Minter was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Midlothian Police Department and the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force investigated the homicide. Crime scene technicians searched the area and the bullet-riddled vehicle, and detectives canvassed the complex for witnesses. Despite those efforts, no arrests or suspects have been identified and the case remains unsolved. Minter’s family and community have expressed deep grief and hope someone will come forward.

If anyone has information about that morning or the parking lot at 147th Street and Turner Avenue, please share what you know.
