Laron McCoy, 25, was shot dead on July 5, 2016, in the South Chicago neighborhood. The shooting happened about 1:15 p.m. in the 8100 block of South Burnham Avenue after an argument over a car. McCoy, who lived in the 9700 block of South Luella, was taken to South Shore Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office say 22-year-old Rondale Parker shot McCoy in the head during the altercation. Witnesses reported that Parker pulled a 9mm handgun and fired multiple times at close range, striking McCoy in the face and head. Parker and his brother left the scene, and witnesses later identified Parker in a photo array.

An arrest warrant for Parker was issued on August 24, 2016; he was taken into custody later that year and charged with murder. If anyone who knew McCoy or saw the incident has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
