Angelo Seabrook, age 40, male, Black/African American, was shot multiple times on the South Side of Chicago on the night of May 11, 2025. Shortly after 11:30 p.m., Angelo Seabrook stepped outside near the 7500 block of South Normal Avenue in the Gresham/Greater Grand Crossing area during or after an argument with a man he knew. He collapsed with gunshot wounds and was rushed to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Police initially reported no one in custody as detectives began their investigation into the dispute that spilled into the street that night.
In the weeks that followed, investigators pursued a suspect who, according to prosecutors, had argued with Angelo Seabrook earlier in the evening at a nearby gathering before the confrontation outside. Prosecutors later alleged that the gunman drew a handgun and fired repeatedly at close range, describing the barrage as emptying an entire magazine. The shooting location and timeline matched the original police account near 75th and Normal, reinforcing that the encounter began as a personal dispute and escalated into deadly violence.
On June 11, 2025, troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol located and arrested the alleged gunman, 34-year-old Essian Anthony McGinnis of Tinley Park, Illinois, in North Platte on an active Cook County homicide warrant. He was booked into the Lincoln County Jail as a fugitive from justice. Authorities coordinated with the U.S. Marshals Service and the Chicago Police Department to return him to Illinois.
After his return to Chicago, Essian Anthony McGinnis was ordered held without pretrial release and charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Angelo Seabrook. Court filings summarized by local reporters outlined the earlier argument, the later encounter on the sidewalk, and the volley of shots that ended the life of Angelo Seabrook, age 40. Separate coverage also reported an arrest at O’Hare by a joint CPD–U.S. Marshals team in connection with the same May 11 homicide, underscoring that authorities had pursued him across jurisdictions before the case landed in Cook County court.
Public memorial listings subsequently recorded the death of Angelo Seabrook, age 40, in Chicago on May 11, 2025. Those entries, together with early police reports from that night, trace a clear arc from the late-night quarrel near 75th and Normal to the fatal shooting, the multi-state manhunt, and the murder charge now pending against the alleged shooter.
