Marrecus Garrett, a 34-year-old African American man, was shot while sitting in a parked vehicle about 8:45 a.m. on December 10, 2014, on the 6800 block of South Talman Avenue in the Marquette Park neighborhood of Chicago. Someone in another vehicle opened fire, striking Garrett multiple times. He was driven to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and died there on December 23, 2014; the Cook County medical examiner ruled his death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

No suspects were immediately identified, and no arrests have been made. The circumstances of the shooting on Garrett’s own block remain unclear and the case is unsolved. If anyone knew Garrett, saw activity on South Talman Avenue that morning, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
