Star I. Paramore, 19, was found dead in the basement common area of his Evanston apartment building on March 25, 2016. A resident discovered his body near the storage lockers at about 5:30 p.m. on a Friday evening; the Cook County Medical Examiner reported a single gunshot wound to the head and estimated he had been dead one to two days.

Paramore lived with his mother, Janet McEwan, on Harvard Terrace and had not been heard from since the previous Wednesday, prompting his mother’s concern. Family members, including his sister Kesha Blackwood, described him as kind, gentle, and hoping to become a truck driver; he worked in a restaurant.

The Evanston Police Department and the North Regional Major Crimes Task Force investigated, and no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified. Anyone with information is asked to contact authorities or use the anonymous tip lines.
