Jeremy Miller, 35, male, left Armour Square in the predawn quiet of Thursday, July 10, 2025, and never made it home. Around 2 a.m., on the 3700 block of South Wells Street near the Wentworth Gardens homes, shots cut across the sidewalk and street. Jeremy Miller was struck in the chest; a second man, 30, was hit in the arm. Both were rushed to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where Jeremy Miller, 35, male, was pronounced dead, while the other victim stabilized and was listed in good
condition.
The block woke to blue lights and the tape that says a life has been taken. Detectives from CPD’s Area 1 opened the case as neighbors traded fragments of what they heard—a burst of gunfire, a car pulling away, then sirens. Officials said the circumstances remained unknown in the immediate aftermath; no one had been taken into custody. In the days that followed, his name was added to memorial rolls that mark the city’s losses one by one, another entry for a summer night that turned violent. As of the latest reporting, there were no arrests, and investigators continued to search for the shooter or shooters who cut down Jeremy Miller, 35, male, on that South Side block.
