Kirk Flowers, 26, was found shot to death on May 14, 2010, in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood. His body was discovered wrapped in a bed sheet in the backseat of his red 2008 Dodge Charger parked on the 1400 block of West Rosemont Avenue. Authorities reported multiple gunshot wounds, that he had been bound with duct tape, and that the car showed interior fire damage suggesting an attempt to destroy evidence.

Kirk had last been seen on May 8, and a missing person alert had been issued before the body was found. Witnesses said the vehicle was locked with a broken window, possibly from gunfire. The car and Kirk’s body were taken to the medical examiner’s office for examination.

Reports note Kirk had recently lost his job and may have been struggling emotionally. The discovery shocked the community and was counted among the city’s homicides that year. If anyone has information about Kirk, his movements between May 8 and May 14, or the red 2008 Dodge Charger, please come forward.
