John J. Myles, a 45-year-old African American man, was shot multiple times on April 19, 2014, while seated in his vehicle outside his apartment in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago, in the 1700 block of West Rosehill Drive. The shooting happened about 11:30 a.m. He was taken to Presence Saint Francis Hospital in Evanston and died of his injuries on April 29, 2014; his death was ruled a homicide.

Police later arrested 28-year-old Joshua Hargrow of the 700 block of North Dearborn and charged him with first-degree murder in connection with the shooting. Officers reported Hargrow was taken into custody about 2 p.m. on a Thursday and held without bond; his next court date was scheduled for June 18, 2016.

Family described Myles as joyful and friendly, with a passion for cars, music and art. He worked for 15 years sizing children’s shoes at Nordstrom in Oak Brook, painted abstractly and enjoyed the musician Prince and the Chicago Bears. Is there anyone who knew John or who has additional information about the events that morning in Edgewater?
