Arron Neal, 24, of Chicago was found dead in a south suburban wooded area on October 23, 2024, after going missing four days earlier. He left his grandmother’s home in West Englewood on Saturday, October 19, and surveillance video shows him getting into an unknown white SUV at 71st and Oakley. His family’s location sharing showed his phone last in the Dixmoor area.

The Cook County Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide, listing multiple gunshot wounds. Several shell casings were recovered near Thornton Road by Ashland Avenue, close to where his body was located in Dixmoor Playfield Park Region 9. Neal’s phone was later found by a fisherman in the Calumet River, miles from the discovery site.

Family described Neal as an aspiring rapper who was popular, energetic, creative, and very close to them. No arrests or suspects have been reported. Did anyone see a white SUV near 71st and Oakley or have information about Neal’s movements between West Englewood and Dixmoor?
