Michael Saunders, 42, of Homer Glen, Illinois, was shot to death and found with a bullet wound to the head in Calumet Park on June 25, 1994. He was pronounced dead around 3 a.m. that Monday and the Cook County medical examiner’s office ruled his death a homicide. No immediate arrests were made and the circumstances of the killing remain unclear.

Saunders was one of the Englewood Four, wrongfully convicted as a teenager in the 1994 rape and murder of Nina Glover; DNA later linked that crime to Johnny Maniac Douglas and the four were exonerated. After release, Saunders worked helping other exonerees reintegrate and was planning to return to school. His death is a significant loss to the community and investigators continue to seek information that could identify those responsible.

Did anyone in the Calumet Park area that night see or hear anything that might help identify who killed Michael Saunders?
