Eric Zyzanski, 31, died on August 3, 2014, in his south Evanston apartment after an accidental, self-inflicted shotgun wound. Police were called to the 800 block of Howard Street about 9:45 p.m. and found him on the floor with a head wound and the shotgun beside him. He was taken to Saint Francis Hospital and pronounced dead at 10:18 p.m.

Investigators say Zyzanski had been at home with several friends when he retrieved a shotgun to show them. Witnesses told detectives he removed two or three rounds, told them the gun was empty, then held it to his face and pulled the trigger. Witness accounts matched one another and the physical evidence processed at the scene; the investigation was closed as an accidental shooting. No arrests were made and police did not identify any suspects or evidence of foul play.

Did anyone who knew Eric or was in that apartment that night come forward with further details?
