Devone Matthews, 21, was shot and killed on June 25, 2015, inside the Express Car Wash on the 5900 block of North Ridge Avenue in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago. He was inside the business at about 4:45 p.m. when an assailant entered, produced a handgun and fired several shots, striking Matthews in the back. He was taken to Presence Saint Francis Hospital in Evanston and pronounced dead at 5:25 p.m.

Witnesses described the shooter as a man dressed in all black, wearing a hood and a mask; after the shooting the suspect was seen scaling a fence and running down Paulina Street. Matthews lived on the 6100 block of North Damen Avenue and was identified as a colleague of an employee at the car wash. Police noted Matthews was a documented gang member, a detail investigators said may relate to motive. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Anyone with information about the shooting or the suspect seen fleeing down Paulina Street is asked to come forward.
