Justin Haney was 18 when he was killed on January 9, 2015, in Country Club Hills, Illinois. Home on winter break from Southern Illinois University, he was walking to his girlfriend’s house around 7:30 p.m. when someone shot him in the chest. Police found him face down in the snow on West 186th Street; he was pronounced dead at 8:30 p.m. The Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide from a gunshot wound.

Justin was a business major who hoped to become a stockbroker. His mother, Rose Marie Haney, who adopted him as an infant, and his friends remembered him as bright, well liked, athletic and academically successful. Investigators developed several leads and persons of interest and asked the public for help, but no arrests were immediately made and the case remained unsolved at the time of these reports.

If anyone knew Justin, saw him that evening, or has information about the shooting on West 186th Street, please come forward to help his family and investigators.
