Quentin Pruett, 45, was shot and killed during a home invasion in Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood on March 21, 2023. Pruett, who lived in Green Bay and was visiting friends and family, was in a ground floor unit in the 7600 block of North Sheridan Road around 3:30 a.m. when someone knocked on the back door, forced it open, and fired into the living room. Witnesses said the shooter ran into the alley; a 911 call followed, but Pruett suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Family members say they believe Pruett may have been mistaken for someone else; his cousin described him as non-violent and hard-working. The apartment complex has a history of crime and safety problems, with neighbors reporting domestic violence, overdoses, and gun violence and more than 300 police and fire calls in the year before the shooting. Area 3 detectives are investigating and, as of the latest reports, no arrests have been announced.

If anyone knew Quentin or has information about the shooting or the person who fled into the alley, please come forward to investigators.
