Marcus Cox, 27, was fatally shot on September 27, 2015, in the Longwood Manor neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago. He was standing outside on the 9600 block of South Morgan Avenue at about 4:20 a.m. when he was struck multiple times, including wounds to the abdomen and ankle. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and died later that day.

Witnesses reported that his wallet and car keys were missing when police arrived, and investigators have treated the incident as a possible robbery. Marcus worked as a display cook at Bartlett Dining Commons since 2011 and was remembered by colleagues as generous, optimistic, and the life of the party. Family and co-workers recalled his love of cooking, sports, clubs, video games, and desserts, and said his death left a large hole in their lives. No suspects have been identified and the Chicago Police Department continues to investigate.

Did anyone who knew Marcus or who was in the Longwood Manor area that morning see anything that could help the investigation?
