On the evening of February 19, 2012, Gregory Alamo Glinsey, 53, stepped out from a family celebration in Chicago’s South Shore to buy ice at Budget Food and Liquor in the 2500 block of East 79th Street. Just before 7 p.m. a beige car rolled up and gunfire erupted. Glinsey was struck in the chest outside the store and died there. Family members described him as small in stature, steady in spirit, and remembered his nickname Alamo for stubborn strength.

The shooting also killed 19-year-old Jamal Harris and wounded five teenagers, including a 14-year-old who was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital in critical condition. Police said Glinsey appeared to be an innocent bystander; early descriptions reported two males, about 17 to 25, in the beige car.

Did anyone in the South Shore area at that time see the beige car or the people inside it?
