STORY YOUMISSED
Chicago Police have released video footage seeking public help to identify a masked rifleman who fatally shot 32-year-old Corey Finley at a Humboldt Park gas station four years ago.
Chicago Police are appealing to the public for assistance in identifying a masked gunman involved in a fatal 2022 shooting in the Humboldt Park neighborhood.
The Chicago Police Department released a brief video clip on Friday featuring a suspect wanted in connection with the homicide of 32-year-old Corey Finley.
The fatal attack occurred on May 3, 2022, at approximately 10:41 a.m. in the 3700 block of West Chicago Avenue within the 11th District.
According to police records and video footage, an individual carrying a large rifle ran across West Chicago Avenue toward a local gas station driveway.
The gunman opened fire as he approached the property, striking Finley as the victim fell onto the pavement.
Surveillance footage shows the shooter momentarily pointing the weapon toward a vehicle exiting the gas station before firing additional rounds at Finley.
The offender then fled the scene on foot, running back across West Chicago Avenue in the direction of Hamlin Avenue.
Finley succumbed to his injuries following the morning shooting in Cook County.
Although raw footage of the incident circulated on social media shortly after the 2022 event, police did not issue this official video alert until four years later.
Department representatives did not provide an explanation regarding the timing of the public alert or comment on recent developments in the case.
Investigators from CPD Area 4 described the suspect as a Black male who was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, a black face mask, black pants featuring stripes down the sides, and black shoes.
The 3700 block of West Chicago Avenue is a high-traffic commercial stretch in Humboldt Park bordered by local businesses and residential streets.
Area residents and community members have consistently called for answers regarding unsolved violent crimes along the West Side corridor.
Detectives are reviewing historical evidence and working under case number JF228530 to track down new leads.
Police advise members of the public who recognize the individual shown in the video not to approach the suspect.
Anyone with details regarding the identity or location of the gunman is asked to contact Area 4 Detectives directly at 312-746-8252.
