Neal Zarei, 29, was shot and killed on the evening of November 20, 2008, as he left a funeral home parking lot in Chicago’s Gage Park neighborhood. Gunfire erupted about 7:41 p.m. in the 5200 block of South Kedzie Avenue; Zarei was taken to John H. Stroger Jr.

Hospital of Cook County and pronounced dead at 8:17 p.m. Police said the attack appeared tied to gang activity associated with the funeral that had just concluded. Detectives from the Wentworth Area opened the investigation, but the shooter fled and no one was in custody the following morning.
