Tony McIntosh was 20 when he was fatally shot on October 3, 2014, in the South Deering neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting happened about 9:20 p.m. while he was outside on the 10600 block of South Yates, where he also lived. An assailant approached and shot Tony in the head; he was taken to Trinity Hospital and pronounced dead at 9:50 p.m.

Prosecutors say Burundi A. Martin, 25, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. According to the charging account, Martin approached Tony, his older brother and their mother on the porch, initially greeted them with his hand in his pocket, then produced a gun and fired once through a glass screen door. As the family dropped to the ground, Martin allegedly fired three more times, striking Tony twice before fleeing on foot. Tony’s mother, Toneya McIntosh, identified Martin from a photo array and later in a physical lineup after providing detectives with the suspect nickname Shorty-mac.

Tony was described by his mother as a jokester who loved children, had three of his own, and taught himself to play keyboard. The motive for the killing remains unknown. If anyone knew Tony, his routines, or has information about that night, please share what can help bring clarity.
