Anthony Curtis, 26, was fatally shot while sitting on his porch in the 4900 block of South Indiana Avenue in Chicago on December 27, 2008. The attack occurred at about 4:15 p.m.; Curtis was declared dead at the scene. He lived on the 2700 block of West 99th Street.

Authorities later charged 23-year-old Christopher West with Curtis’s murder. Prosecutors say West and another individual who has not been charged approached Curtis and opened fire. A witness a block away reported seeing West flee after the shots. Prosecutors also allege West was overheard boasting about the killing, saying that was the most gangsterous murder I ever did.

West had prior felony convictions including a 2008 felony cocaine possession guilty plea and later weapons-related convictions; he had been incarcerated since May 2011 on two three-year sentences for being a felon in possession of a weapon and was transferred to Cook County Jail before being formally arrested on the murder charge. Does anyone have information about Curtis, his activities that day, or witnesses who saw the shooting?
