Edward J. Jernagin, 57, was fatally shot on May 6, 2011, in a downtown Chicago convenience store where he had worked nearly 30 years. He was found in the back of Wabash Food and Liquors early that morning; it was unclear whether the shooting occurred overnight or in the early hours of Friday. The store typically closed around 9 p.m. and reopened early the next morning.

Jernagin’s death was noted amid a broader rise in Chicago homicides in 2011 and drew attention to the risks faced by small business workers in high-crime areas. If anyone knew Edward, his routines at the store, or saw anything unusual that night, please share what might help the investigation.
