Elijah Fat Head Murphy, a 38-year-old African American man, was shot to death on November 17, 2016, in the Back of the Yards neighborhood of Chicago. He was being dropped off at work by his pregnant 20-year-old daughter and was exiting his Kia Soul near West 43rd Street and South Racine Avenue at about 4:45 a.m. when someone inside a dark-colored SUV opened fire. Murphy suffered gunshot wounds to his body and head and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Surveillance video and investigators say two masked men were waiting outside the meat-packaging facility; the footage reportedly shows the suspects parked outside, armed, and firing as Murphy stepped from his vehicle. He worked as a meat processor at Bea’s Best, City Foods, Inc., and is remembered by family and coworkers as a dependable family man who was expecting his first grandchild and was raising four children.

Area Central detectives are investigating, and no arrests have been announced. Does anyone have information about that early-morning shooting or the dark SUV seen outside the facility?
