Malcolm Cornell, a 42-year-old Black male, was found shot to death late Saturday morning, September 6, 2025, inside a home on the 300 block of West 93rd Street on Chicago’s South Side, in the Roseland/Princeton Park area. Police and the Cook County medical examiner identified him and said he’d been discovered around 10:50 a.m., with the medical examiner later ruling the death a homicide. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Details released that day were stark: officers responded to the home and found Cornell inside; no information about a motive or circumstances leading up to the gunfire was made public. Local outlets noted the precise block and the morning timeline but did not report witnesses on scene or any immediate leads. Community memorial pages recorded his name and the date and city of his death.
As of the initial reports, no arrests had been made, and Area Two detectives were investigating. Authorities did not announce a suspect description, and there were no public updates indicating anyone in custody connected to the shooting.
