Erskin Palm, a 31-year-old African American man, was shot to death on January 6, 2016, in the Princeton Park neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. Officers found Palm on the sidewalk in the 9300 block of South LaSalle Street around 11:30 p.m. with gunshot wounds to his chest; he was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and pronounced dead about 45 minutes later. Palm lived on the 7700 block of South Laflin Street.

Investigators reported multiple gunshot wounds, shattered car windows at the scene, and a dark blue car with its doors wide open. Neighbors said they heard as many as 20 shots and a woman screaming. Officers and detectives searched the nearby road and sidewalk for evidence but made no immediate arrests. No significant updates on suspects or arrests have been reported and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone who lived near South LaSalle Street that night or has information about the dark blue car can help, please come forward.
