Shaquille Alexander, 21, was found lying in the middle of South Seeley Avenue in West Englewood just before dawn on September 15, 2016. Police and the Cook County medical examiner said he suffered a gunshot wound to the head at about 5:24 a.m. in the 5600 block of South Seeley and was pronounced dead at the scene at 5:54 a.m. He lived in the 2700 block of West 61st Street.

Reporters at the scene described seven to eight shell casings near his body as relatives gathered; a woman cried out and others tried to steady her. A man who identified himself as Alexander’s father declined to answer questions while watching the taped-off street. By the end of that day’s reporting no arrests or suspect descriptions had been announced.

The location, time, and manner of death are clear; who fired the shots and why remain unknown. Does anyone have information about Shaquille Alexander or the events around South Seeley Avenue that morning?
