Malik Jones, 27, was killed while bicycling through Grant Park in Chicago on June 16, 2026. Jones, a former Morton College soccer player, was riding along Jackson Drive in the early morning when he was struck by a gunshot to the leg. He was taken to a nearby hospital but died of his injuries.

Investigators say surveillance footage shows an 18-year-old, Eliel Argudo-Tenorio of Oak Park, retrieve a gun from a car, point it at Jones, then advance and fire as Jones tried to flee. Prosecutors charge Argudo-Tenorio with first-degree murder. Authorities tracked the vehicle using license plate reader data to the Irving Park neighborhood and later arrested Argudo-Tenorio at his Oak Park home. Witnesses with him that night reportedly heard him express remorse.

The motive remains unclear and police say Jones and the alleged shooter did not know one another. Does anyone who was in Grant Park that night or who recognizes the people in the surveillance footage have information to share?
