Bennie Davis was 21 when he died in Chicago on December 7, 2006. An obituary for Bennie L. Davis confirms his passing and that services were handled through Lincoln Cemetery, but it does not describe how he died or mention any investigation.

Searches of the Chicago Police Department Adult Arrest Search (which begins in 2014) and the Illinois Department of Corrections Offender Search did not turn up records relevant to this 2006 death. Gender, ethnicity, and whether any arrests or suspects were ever identified are not stated in the materials located.

Does anyone have contemporaneous local coverage, archive material, or personal knowledge that could shed light on what happened to Bennie Davis?
