Omari Houston, 28, was shot and killed in Chicago in the early morning hours of August 19, 2007, near West Lake Street and North Halsted Street. Court documents say Omari was sitting in a vehicle with several others when an Infiniti driven by accomplices pulled up. Witnesses described a man later identified as Bryant Buckhanan leaning out of the Infiniti’s passenger side and opening fire, fatally wounding Omari; police found him unresponsive after shots were reported.

Investigators tracked the Infiniti, which had been issued as a loaner from a local dealership, to an abandoned location on Interstate 88. Fingerprints and DNA recovered from the vehicle linked Buckhanan to it. Multiple eyewitnesses provided testimony about the sequence of events, and despite conflicting statements during the case, Buckhanan was ultimately convicted and sentenced for Omari’s murder.

If anyone knew Omari, was present that night, or has information about the people involved or the Infiniti, please share what is known.
