Alex Anderson, a 19-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on January 20, 2014, in Chicago during a planned narcotics transaction. The shooting happened while Anderson was a passenger in Tramian Barnes’ car in the 4300 block of North Milwaukee Avenue; Anderson was shot in the stomach and later died at the hospital.

Investigators concluded the shooting was premeditated because Barnes and Anderson had arranged to meet for a drug deal. Barnes, who was 21 at the time, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Authorities reported Barnes had a prior violent history and was out on bond on an earlier drug-related murder charge when Anderson was killed.

Subsequently, Barnes was implicated in another fatal incident on April 4, 2016, when he and an alleged accomplice, Kenyatta Alexander, were accused in the murder of 17-year-old Anthony Heatherly during an attempted armed robbery and carjacking; Barnes was held without bail on charges tied to that case as well. Does anyone have information about Anderson’s movements that day or witnesses who were in the 4300 block of North Milwaukee Avenue on January 20, 2014?
