David Sauseda Jr. was 39 when he was shot and killed at a bar in Cicero, Illinois, on January 1, 2006. Witnesses said the shooting followed a confrontation and that the suspect had been involved in a heated argument with David before the gunfire began. David, a former Marine, was one of four people killed by gunfire in the Chicago area that New Year’s Day.

Authorities launched an investigation, collected witness statements, and ultimately arrested and charged a suspect with murder; the case proceeded through court hearings afterward. David’s family remembered him as a loving father and devoted son, and his death was cited as part of the wider problem of gun violence affecting communities like Cicero.

If anyone knew David or was at the bar that night and can add details, please share what you remember.
