Lazane Clark, a 55-year-old African American man, was shot in the chest during an altercation on February 4, 2016, at about 11 AM at Halsted and Oakdale in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood. He was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center and died there on February 10, 2016, six days after the shooting.

The shooter was identified as a 67-year-old man from North Riverside who held a concealed carry license. He was taken into custody for questioning and initially charged with aggravated battery with a firearm, but the charges were later dropped and he was released. The police department acknowledged problems in how the case was handled. Clark had prior legal troubles, including a guilty plea leading to two years of intensive probation and anger management after a threat connected to damage to his car, and involvement in a 2001 solicitation-to-commit-murder matter that surfaced during an unrelated arrest.

No further arrests or trial proceedings were reported for the shooting. Does anyone have information about this case or remember the incident at Halsted and Oakdale?
