Authorities announced a $5,000 reward Friday for information leading to an arrest in the unsolved fatal shooting three years ago of a “very non-confrontational” young man in front of a Lincoln Park-area apartment complex.
The victim's mother then informed his father that police had contacted her and told her they needed to talk to her about her son.
"So, at that point we started panicking, thinking obviously something bad had happened," the father said."But ... we didn't imagine, you know, that he had been shot.""He was very non-confrontational, never been in a fight that I can remember, even throughout high school," he said."So this was very shocking."
He urged anyone who might be able to help bring his family closure to get in touch with investigators. "Someone knows, has got information about this," the father said."I would like for them to come forward. just because it's the right thing to do. It would help us tremendously to at least have some answers to all our questions -- you know, of why and how, and bring to justice the people that did this so they no longer could do this to another family."
Anyone with information about the case was asked to call Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477 or contact the agency online at sdcrimestoppers.org.
