Eric Banks, a 25-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on September 21, 2016, near his home on East 57th Street and State in Chicago. The attack occurred about 2 p.m. when a tan Buick pulled up next to Banks and another person. Surveillance video and witness identification show a 21-year-old, Deshawn Garrett, exiting the Buick and opening fire. Banks tried to run but was struck by multiple bullets, including shots to the back of his head, right forearm, ribs, and back.

Police recovered 11 shell casings at the scene. The vehicle was registered to 28-year-old Deonte Bowdrey, who was identified as the driver; authorities later found he had attempted to have the car repainted. Both men were taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder, and were ordered held without bond.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see the tan Buick or have other information about the shooting?
