On the evening of June 21, 2021, 28-year-old Lamar Brian Drakes was fatally shot while working on his car outside his home in the 10400 block of South Eggleston Avenue in Chicago’s Roseland neighborhood. The assailant drove a silver Chevrolet Malibu and opened fire around 8:40 p.m., striking Drakes multiple times. He was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead.

Drakes was a father to a young son and was caring for his ill grandfather at the time. He had planned to take the Cook County Sheriff’s exam two weeks after the shooting, following in his mother’s footsteps. No arrests have been made; police have identified a person of interest and community activist Andrew Holmes said authorities are actively seeking that individual. The family’s reward for information has been raised from $5,000 to $20,000, and Drakes’ mother, Dorothy Riles, has criticized the investigation as stalled, alleging leads are not being pursued and that the suspect may be hidden out of state by relatives.

Does anyone in the Roseland area remember seeing a silver Chevrolet Malibu in that neighborhood on the night of June 21, 2021, or have other information that could help the family and investigators?
