Paul C. Sappington, a 31-year-old African American man, was shot and killed at his home in the 9000 block of South May Street in Chicago’s Washington Heights neighborhood on February 1, 2016. According to reports, he answered his front door about 10:15 a.m. and was shot by two males who fled immediately. Paul was critically injured and died shortly after the shooting.

The investigation determined the attack was targeted, though the motive was described as unclear. Chicago Police and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office were involved; detectives searched for suspects but made no immediate arrests. Lack of eyewitnesses and concrete evidence was said to have complicated efforts, and the case remained open as authorities followed leads.

Paul’s family and friends have kept his memory alive and called for justice. If anyone has information about the February 1, 2016 shooting on South May Street, please share what you know with investigators.
