Darvis Dennis, 37, was found fatally shot near an Edgewater condo building in Chicago in the early hours of April 22, 2025. A doorman called 911 after another employee reported a gunshot and discovered blood and other items in a hallway. Officers located Dennis outside the building with a gunshot wound to his right thigh; he was responsive on scene but died less than an hour later at St. Francis Hospital.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office conducted an autopsy and, in an update, ruled the death accidental, determining Dennis died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his right thigh. Officials reported no signs of foul play and no suspects or arrests in connection with the incident. Very little else about his movements before the shooting has been released.

If anyone was in or near the Edgewater building that morning and saw anything unusual, please share information that could clarify what happened.
