A 32-year-old employee, Armontye Alexander, was killed while working a late-morning shift at Sanford Foods in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on April 29, 2025. A masked gunman entered the store on the 500 block of North Laramie Avenue at about 11:35 a.m., went toward the back and opened fire. Alexander was struck multiple times in the head and body, taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition and pronounced dead a short time later.

Detectives from CPD’s Area Four opened a homicide investigation as patrol units canvassed for surveillance video and witnesses. Early accounts said at least one assailant carried out the attack and that multiple suspects may have fled the scene; by late afternoon no one was in custody and officials described the shooter only as masked. Family and co-workers remembered Alexander as someone trying to make a living for himself and his children and said he had only recently started at the store.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see the shooter or have video from around 11:35 a.m. on April 29 that could help investigators?
