William Bailey, a 41-year-old African American man, was found dead on May 5, 2014, in Chicago, Illinois. He died of a fatal gunshot wound and authorities quickly ruled the death a homicide. Bailey was discovered in his vehicle parked on a residential street in the South Side neighborhood during the early hours; investigators say he had been shot multiple times, which they described as suggesting a targeted attack.

The Chicago Police Department canvassed the area, interviewed potential witnesses and reviewed nearby surveillance footage, but the case grew cold as witnesses were reluctant to come forward and leads were scarce. Detectives later identified several suspects and learned Bailey had been involved in a dispute with local gang members, but no one was ever charged and the murder remains unsolved. Bailey’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city alleging failures in addressing neighborhood gang violence; that civil suit was dismissed.

Does anyone have information about Bailey’s movements or contacts in the days before May 5, 2014?
