Marchillo Freeman, 44, died after a late-night confrontation inside a home in Chicago’s East Garfield Park neighborhood on March 30, 2026. The shooting occurred around 9:40 to 9:42 p.m. in the 2800 block of West Washington Boulevard after Freeman and a 31-year-old man got into an argument that quickly turned physical.

The 31-year-old, described as a valid Firearm Owners Identification card holder, then produced a gun and fired multiple shots. Freeman was struck several times, taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, and pronounced dead.

The confrontation also left 38-year-old Shanquella Pigram dead. Police said Pigram tried to intervene and was shot in the head as the gunfire erupted; she was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and later died. Officers recovered a firearm at the scene and took the 31-year-old into custody; early reports said charges were pending while Area Three detectives investigated.
