Edward Flowers, 42, was fatally shot on February 1, 2016, inside a social club on the 500 block of South Cicero Avenue in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood. Prosecutors say the shooting followed a confrontation with 33-year-old James Green; after Flowers allegedly punched Green, Green retrieved a firearm and shot Flowers. Witnesses and surveillance footage reportedly captured the event, and prosecutors allege Green fired an additional close-range shot after Flowers had fallen.

An arrest warrant for Green was issued in late February 2016; he was arrested in March in Madison, Wisconsin, found with a firearm and later returned to Illinois to face charges. At the time of arrest Green had prior convictions for aggravated battery and aggravated discharge of a firearm and was held on $2 million bail. Flowers, known by the nickname Pot, was remembered by friends and family as a loving friend and father who often had a smile on his face.

If anyone was at the club that night or has information about the confrontation, please share what is known.
