Alprentiss Nash, 40, was fatally shot in Chicago on July 28, 2015. He had been at a gas station on the 1600 block of West Van Buren with his girlfriend, then walked to a nearby currency exchange. An individual approached and attempted to rob him; during the confrontation Nash was shot in the chest and later died at Stroger Hospital. Police said the shooting was narcotics-related and that both Nash and the suspect were armed. A suspect was taken into custody and charges were pending.

Nash had been wrongfully convicted in the 1995 murder of Leon Stroud and served 17 years before DNA testing on a ski mask excluded him and identified another person; he was exonerated in 2012, received a certificate of innocence and more than $200,000 from the state, and later filed a federal civil rights suit against the city and police, which continued after his death with his son as plaintiff. Nash had attended culinary school and sought work after release; his attorney Kathleen Zellner said he worried about his safety and feared people thought he had received a large settlement he had not yet received.

Does anyone have information about Nash’s last movements near West Van Buren or about the robbery that led to his shooting?
