Steven Cowan, 29, of Chicago was fatally shot on October 28, 2016, while sitting in a blue truck in the 6400 block of South Damen Avenue in West Englewood. The shooting happened about 11:18 a.m.; Cowan was alone in the driver’s seat when Joseph Bey, 40, approached from a nearby gangway and opened fire. Bey’s gun reportedly jammed during the attack but he unjammed it and continued firing, striking Cowan in the back, chest, and arms. Cowan was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and died later that evening.

Witness identifications and the dying declaration were central to the investigation. Bey, who had a prior murder conviction from the early 1990s, was arrested and charged; prosecutors tied the motive to a neighborhood dispute involving associates of both men and moved to hold Bey without bail. The case centers on those eyewitness accounts and the confrontation in West Englewood.

Did anyone in West Englewood see Cowan that morning or know more about the neighborhood dispute that led to this shooting?
