Davy Easterling, a 31-year-old security guard who worked as a bodyguard for rapper Twista and was described as a close friend, was found shot to death and burned in a South Side Chicago apartment on February 14, 2014. He was discovered around 6 a.m. in a unit on the 8300 block of South Baker Avenue; the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled his death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds. The fire in the apartment was determined to be incendiary, and firefighters found Easterling deceased in the bedroom. The Chicago Police Department’s Bomb and Arson Unit and the Fire Department’s Office of Fire Investigations handled the scene.

Three months later, a 25-year-old man named Matthew Jackson was charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery in connection with the case. Prosecutors alleged Jackson confronted Easterling over money, shot him in the mouth and torso, slashed his throat, took cash and clothing, and set Easterling’s car on fire. The accused was said to have acted after his girlfriend saw Easterling with foreign money at another woman’s apartment. Has anyone in the area or who knew Davy seen or heard anything relevant around February 14, 2014?
