Rodney Wayne Phillips Orr, 34, was found shot to death in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood on July 12, 2016. The killing occurred shortly before 11 p.m. in the 6000 block of South Carpenter Street; Orr had a fatal gunshot wound to the head and was lying near a parked Toyota. A second victim, Daniel Watkins, 28, was found shot in the head inside that vehicle. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene by the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Investigators described both killings as execution-style and treated the deaths as possibly targeted. The Chicago Police Department canvassed the neighborhood and reviewed nearby surveillance footage, but immediate leads were limited and no arrests were made at the scene. Police explored motives including gang-related violence and personal disputes while interviewing acquaintances and family members of both victims.

The case remained open and unsolved in the years after the murders, with family members urging anyone with information to come forward.
