Donnell L. Patton, 40, was shot and killed in the early hours of May 14, 2025, outside a BP gas station in the South Shore neighborhood at the 7400 block of South Stony Island Avenue. According to reports, an argument between Patton and another man spilled outside; surveillance video shows two men face-to-face, a gun drawn at close range, and shots to the face and body. He was struck multiple times and died within minutes, with early accounts differing on whether death occurred at the scene or after transport to the University of Chicago Medical Center.

Security footage and license plate reader data led investigators to a white vehicle identified as a Chevy Impala. About nine hours after the shooting, police arrested 41-year-old Jonathan Robinson near the 7200 block of South Cornell Avenue. Robinson was charged with first-degree murder and a related felony cannabis offense and was ordered detained pending trial; public statements said no additional suspects were publicly named or in custody.

Does anyone who was in South Shore that morning remember the gas station or the white Impala, or have information that could help clarify the sequence of events?
