Vincent Means was 32 when he was shot and killed on March 2, 2016, at the intersection of West State Street and Calhoun Avenue in Burnham, Illinois. He was taken to Franciscan St. Margaret Health in Hammond, Indiana, but was pronounced dead there at 2:04 a.m. The Lake County coroner’s office ruled his death a homicide.

Means lived in Calumet City. Initial reports from the Burnham Police Department offered few details about what happened that night, and as of late 2025 no arrests have been reported and law enforcement has not released information about suspects or a motive. The case remains unresolved, leaving many questions about who was responsible and why.

If anyone was in the Burnham area that night or has information about Vincent Means or the shooting, please come forward.
