February 2, 2016 – Two photos released by Chicago police on Monday show the two black men who are suspects in a 2014 murder on the northern border of River North. In one photo, the suspects, say police, appear to be getting out of a maroon Dodge Intrepid.

On a Sunday morning, November 9, 2014, at about 2:24 a.m., police found 29-year-old Willis Jefferson unresponsive, lying on a sidewalk in the 800 block of North Orleans Street. He had been stabbed multiple times in the back. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead about an hour later.

Jefferson lived in the 7200 block of South Vincennes Avenue, south of the Loop near Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood. He was out on parole after serving about seven years for aggravated battery to a peace officer.

Anyone with information is asked to call Area Central detectives at 312-747-8380.
