Terry Smith, 57, was fatally shot just after 9 p.m. on January 6, 2024, inside a laundromat in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago. Police say a man walked into the business in the 4800 block of West Chicago Avenue, approached Smith, then produced a gun and shot him multiple times before fleeing on foot. Smith was taken to West Suburban Hospital, where he was pronounced dead; the Cook County Medical Examiner later confirmed his identity.

Area Four detectives are investigating and, as of April 21, 2024, no one has been arrested in the case. The shooting occurred during a weekend that included multiple other shootings across the city that left at least eight people wounded and two dead. Does anyone have information about the laundromat shooting or remember seeing a suspicious person in the area that night?
