He was discovered around 3:20 a.m. in the 2000 block of East 103rd Street in the South Deering neighborhood with gunshot wounds to his torso and left leg and was pronounced dead at the scene. Reporters listed his residence as Chicago Heights and described the location as a quiet industrial stretch near rail lines and warehouses that empties out overnight.

Area Two detectives opened a homicide investigation; police said no one was in custody. The hours after the killing brought tape, floodlights, officers canvassing for cameras and knocking on doors, but there were no immediate public signs of a dispute or robbery tied to the shooting. The case file contains the time, place and wounds, awaiting camera footage or a witness to point detectives toward a motive or a name.
