Courtney Caldwell, a 25-year-old African American man, was shot to death on September 26, 2015, inside an apartment in the 700 block of East 47th Street in Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood. Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office reported he was struck three times and taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 12:43 p.m. that day.

A 34-year-old neighbor, Marvin Lee, who lived on the same block, was arrested the same day and charged with first-degree murder. Lee initially told police Caldwell had broken into his home, but investigators later reported the two men knew each other and had been involved in an altercation before the shooting. Lee was ordered held without bond at his bond-court appearance; his next court date was scheduled for October 16, 2015. The prosecution pursued a theory of premeditation while the defense maintained Lee acted in self-defense.

Caldwell’s family and friends described him as a young man with potential whose life was cut short. Does anyone have information about Caldwell’s life or the events that led to the confrontation that day?
