Arnold Dearies was 26 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting on August 11, 2014, in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood. He was standing in the 7100 block of South Green Street when a white car drove past and someone inside opened fire. Dearies was shot in the side and twice in his right leg and was pronounced dead at 7:49 p.m. at Christ Medical Center.

Officials identified Dearies as a documented gang member. Police later named a suspect, Willie Mims, who was convicted of first-degree murder and aggravated discharge of a firearm in connection with the shooting and received consecutive prison terms of 70 years and 10 years. The trial record shows issues arose over whether the court properly addressed Mims’ claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, prompting further proceedings on that point.

Anyone with memories of Arnold, or who may have information about the events around South Green Street that evening, is asked to come forward.
