Raymond Myles, a 66-year-old Cook County Associate Judge, was shot and killed on April 10, 2017, outside his home on Chicago’s South Side. The shooting happened around 4:10 a.m. after Myles went to investigate a commotion: his female companion had been shot in the leg in what was described as a targeted robbery aimed at her. Myles confronted an assailant on his porch and was struck multiple times. Both Myles and the injured woman were taken to Advocate Christ Hospital, where Myles was pronounced dead.

Two people were implicated in the attack. Earl Wilson was identified as the shooter and charged with first-degree murder. Joshua Smith was accused of acting as the getaway driver and faced charges including first-degree murder, aggravated battery, and obstruction. Both men had prior criminal records; Wilson had served 12 years of an 18-year sentence for attempted murder and had additional post-release encounters with law enforcement. Colleagues remembered Myles for his work in the criminal division since 2009 and for being fair but firm.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see activity around that block before or after 4:10 a.m. on April 10, 2017?
