Edward M. Delgado, 20, was found just after midnight on September 21, 2025, inside a silver SUV that had rolled onto its side along the 10100 block of South Avenue M on Chicago’s East Side. Officers initially answered a crash call at 12:34 a.m. and discovered the driver had been shot in the head. He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and pronounced dead. A weapon was recovered at the scene.

The wrecked SUV had struck multiple unoccupied parked cars before coming to rest on its side. A 20-year-old woman was also shot in the leg during the same incident; she reached a nearby home to call for help and was later listed in good condition. Detectives canvassed the block for cameras and witnesses, and by daybreak police had not announced any arrests or named any suspects.

Family notices and early remembrances identified the victim as Edward Michael Delgado III, tying him to the Calumet Region in Indiana. Does anyone who was on South Avenue M that night or who knows Edward Michael Delgado III have information that could help investigators?
