Deaunte Crudup, 28, was fatally shot on January 29, 2020, around 5:05 p.m. while driving his girlfriend to look at apartments in Dolton, Illinois. The shooting happened in the 15000 block of Minerva Avenue after another vehicle passed Crudup, made a U-turn, and someone inside fired. He sustained a single gunshot wound and was taken to Franciscan Health Hammond, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators said the shooting may have been a case of mistaken identity; police believe the suspects may have mistaken Crudup for someone they had argued with earlier. Two suspects were arrested after a police pursuit from South Holland to Thornton, though no charges had been filed in the initial reports. The Dolton police and the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force were investigating to gather more details and evidence.

Does anyone have information about Crudup, his movements that afternoon, or the vehicles involved?
