LaMarcus A. Milligan, a 29 year old Black male, was found mortally wounded in Chicago's West Pullman neighborhood late on April 11, 2020. Responding to a ShotSpotter alert around 11:09 p.m., officers discovered the 29 year old man in the driver's seat of a parked vehicle in the 11900 block of South Indiana Avenue with multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead.
Authorities identified the 29 year old man as LaMarcus A. Milligan and noted he lived in south suburban Harvey. The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide, and detectives opened an investigation at the scene, sifting through the quiet residential block where the parked car sat under the late-night streetlamps.
There was no immediate word on motive, no account of a dispute, and no detail beyond the stark finding that shots had pierced the stillness and left LaMarcus A.
Milligan beyond saving.
His killing unfolded during a grim Easter weekend for the city, when at least twenty-two people were shot and three were killed across Chicago. In the tally of those violent hours, 29 year old LaMarcus A. Milligan's death marked one of the fatal episodes that punctuated the Far South Side and beyond, as reporters traced the separate scenes onto a single narrative of loss.
Police said no one was in custody in the immediate aftermath, and subsequent coverage of that weekend's shootings did not report an arrest or identify any suspects in the Milligan case. Area detectives continued to investigate, appealing for information while the file remained open in the months that followed.
As of September 2025 there have been no recorded updates.
