Kamil Shamji, a 59-year-old taxi driver from Chicago, was shot and killed on February 22, 2016. He was found slumped over the steering wheel of his cab in the 4400 block of North Leavitt Street in Lincoln Square with a gunshot wound to the back of his head; his cellphone and cash were taken. Shamji had picked up his last fare at a McDonald’s in the 6700 block of North Clark Street and drove the passenger to Lincoln Square, where the passenger shot him within seconds of being told the fare.

Investigators recovered video from the taxi camera that recorded the incident, and surveillance from the McDonald’s showed the passenger at that location. Evidence technicians reported the passenger tried to dismantle the cab camera after the shooting and left a pack of cigarettes in the back seat that bore his fingerprint. Shamji, a father of two who worked long shifts after his wife died of cancer, left a grieving family.

Did anyone in Lincoln Square or near North Clark that night see the taxi, the passenger, or anything else that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
