On the morning of February 23, 2025, 31-year-old James Honey Jr., a Tinley Park resident, was fatally shot outside the Chug-A-Lug Pub and Grill on Halsted Street in Glenwood. Police say the shooting followed a verbal dispute as Honey and his group were leaving the bar; witnesses reported the exchange spilled into the parking lot and that someone from the other group fired shots before fleeing in a vehicle. Officers arrived after reports of gunfire at about 1:30 a.m. and found Honey with at least one gunshot wound; he later died at a hospital and was identified by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.

The Glenwood Police Department and the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force are investigating, and no suspects were in custody at the time of the latest update. Community leaders have called for improved safety measures in response to the killing.

If anyone saw the dispute or the vehicle that left the scene, please share information with investigators.
