Devon LaSalle, 41, was found just after midnight on July 13, 2025, in the 800 block of North Cambridge Avenue on Chicago’s Near North Side with multiple gunshot wounds. Officers discovered him around 12:20 a.m.; he was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead. Early accounts located the scene near River North; police records place it specifically by the Cabrini Green courtyards along North Cambridge.

Police said detectives identified and arrested Maurice Timms roughly four hours after the shooting on the same block. Timms was charged with first-degree murder, unlawful possession of a weapon by a convicted felon and habitual criminal counts. Prosecutors described surveillance footage they say shows LaSalle walking away through a Cabrini Green courtyard, being struck from behind, then shot again after he fell. Authorities described the victim and the alleged shooter as longtime acquaintances. No other arrests were reported and Timms was detained pending further court proceedings.
