Thirty-two-year-old Antoine Alexander was shot in the abdomen in the parking lot of the Jewel-Osco on South Ashland Avenue at about 3:30 p.m. after being approached by an acquaintance. Alexander and the acquaintance both worked for the same security company.

The acquaintance, identified as 26-year-old Bobby Martin, allegedly drew a firearm during the confrontation and shot Alexander. A weapon was recovered at the scene. Alexander was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where he died later that evening. The Chicago Police Department investigated and a suspect was taken into custody within a couple of days.
