Alonzo Johnson, 42, was shot and killed on April 2, 2026, in the lobby of his Kenwood apartment building on Chicago’s South Side. Johnson worked as a maintenance employee at the complex in the 4500 block of South Drexel Boulevard and also lived on that block. The shooting happened about 5:30 p.m. after an argument with a resident; officers who arrived around 5:35 p.m. found Johnson with multiple gunshot wounds to the left hand, right shoulder, and chest.

Johnson was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in serious condition and died there at 8:06 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. Police said the suspected shooter was a building resident who returned to the lobby and opened fire, then fled; no arrest had been announced and the person was not in custody. Area 1 detectives were investigating.

Did anyone who lived in or near the 4500 block of South Drexel Boulevard see or hear anything that evening that could help investigators?
