Janusz C. Kolodziejczyk, a 51-year-old male, was tragically killed on January 1, 2018, in Chicago, IL. The incident occurred in the Avondale neighborhood, where Kolodziejczyk was driving his Toyota Camry south on Pulaski Road. Around 2:20 a.m., his vehicle crashed into a fence in the 3900 block of West Cornelia Avenue. Upon investigation, it was discovered that Kolodziejczyk had suffered a gunshot wound to his back, which led to his death at the scene.
He was a resident of the Schorsch Village neighborhood on the Northwest Side of Chicago.
The Chicago Police Department launched an investigation into Kolodziejczyk's death, marking it as the first reported homicide in Chicago for the year 2018.

Kolodziejczyk's death was part of a violent New Year's weekend in Chicago, which saw multiple shootings across the city. The police have continued to appeal for any witnesses or individuals with information to come forward to help solve the case. The lack of leads has made it challenging for investigators to piece together the events leading up to the fatal shooting.

The ongoing investigation underscores the broader issue of gun violence in Chicago and the need for continued efforts to address and reduce such incidents in the city.
