David L. Easley, 26, was fatally shot on May 21, 2016, in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago. He was delivering a pair of shoes to his daughter and was standing in the 7000 block of South Carpenter visiting with her around 7:40 p.m. when a group of males flashed gang signs. After sending his daughter away, two males walked from a nearby gangway with their heads covered and one fired twice, striking Easley once in the back. He was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and pronounced dead.

Investigators say prosecutors later charged 19-year-old Christian Sivels with first-degree murder in the killing and accused him of being a member of the Goonie faction of the Gangster Disciples. Witnesses reported seeing Sivels load a gun with a T-shirt at a stash house near 68th and Bishop and later heard him say he had ‘‘f—ed him up’’ in reference to Easley. The gun used to shoot Easley was recovered three days later about a block away after it was used in another shooting. Prosecutors believe Easley was mistaken for a member of the Cash Money Boys, a rival faction.

Does anyone have information about Easley’s last movements in Englewood or saw the group that walked down the block that evening?
