A late‑afternoon argument over the type of cheese on a sandwich escalated into deadly gunfire at Momty’s Grill, 9 E. 111th Street in Roseland, on Monday, May 19, 2025. According to police reports and local coverage, a customer argued with an employee, the employee called her son, and when the son arrived he was struck and chased by two men as the dispute moved outside. Shots were fired; Dexter Williams, 38, and Monte Potts, 34, were both hit.

Responding officers found Dexter Williams with wounds to the head and forearm. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center and died there the next day at 1:41 p.m. Potts died the evening of May 19. The employee’s son has been identified by police and prosecutors as the person responsible for at least one fatal shot; he checked into a local hospital in good condition and was later placed into police custody. Days later the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office declined to file charges at that time, saying evidence then available indicated a self‑defense shooting and was insufficient to meet the burden of proof. No charges had been approved as of May 23, 2025, and the restaurant was ordered closed while the investigation continued.

Does anyone have information about what happened inside or outside Momty’s Grill that afternoon?
