Michael Paul Anderson, 59, was fatally shot on November 16, 2016, in the 6600-block of South Washtenaw Avenue in Chicago as he walked to his car a few feet from his home. Witnesses reported seeing three men lingering in the area before the shooting. Anderson was struck by multiple gunshots, taken to the hospital in critical condition, and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Investigators said the shooting may have been an attempted robbery, though it was unclear whether Anderson was specifically targeted. Area South Detectives had not made any arrests immediately after the attack; Alderman David Moore and others offered a $4,000 reward for information. Anderson was a well-known Marquette Park artist who painted murals in several Chicago Public Schools and co-founded a program teaching auto restoration to former gang members; family and friends described him as loving, outgoing, and devoted to mentoring youth.

Does anyone in Marquette Park remember seeing those three men or have information that could help investigators?
