Lavert Horne, a 21-year-old African American man, was found shot to death in his car outside his home in Berkeley, a suburb of Chicago, on March 17, 2014. He was discovered sitting in the driver’s seat of his parked car with multiple gunshot wounds; Berkeley police treated the case as a homicide.

Investigators reported Horne had been involved in a violent incident in 2011: he and three others were charged in the beating and robbery of a 14-year-old in Oak Park, during which the victim’s wallet and iPod were taken. Police explored possible motives, including retaliation related to Horne’s past criminal charges, but no definitive link had been established and no suspects or arrests were announced at the time. The investigation produced intermittent tips and leads but remained unsolved.

Does anyone have information about Horne, his movements around March 17, 2014, or contacts who might help investigators?
