Enrique D. Morales, 22, was found dead the afternoon of September 5, 2016, in the Brighton Park neighborhood of Chicago. Officers located him at about 1:26 p.m., lying in a driveway in the 4500 block of South Whipple Street with a chest wound. The Cook County Medical Examiner confirmed his identity and that his residence was on the same block.

Investigators could not immediately determine whether the chest wound was from a gunshot or a stabbing. No suspects were in custody, and Area Central detectives continued to investigate. The death occurred amid a violent Labor Day weekend in the city when multiple people were killed or wounded; officials publicly expressed frustration about the spike in violence.

If anyone saw activity near the 4500 block of South Whipple Street on September 5, 2016, or has information about Enrique Morales, contact Area Central detectives.
