No Suspects in Vendor Murder

Police claim they still have no suspects and no motive in the April 10 murder of James Maddox, a vendor for StreetWise, a paper sold by the homeless. Maddox was found in an alley in the 5200 block of S. Palmer Ave., near the campus of the University of Chicago. Maddox had been a vendor for StreetWise for eight years, making him one of the veterans of the business of selling street newspapers.

Hyde Park residents have expressed outrage over the lack of police progress in the case. “Jimmy was a great guy and we want to see his killer caught,” a long-time resident told this reporter. StreetWise vendors and supporters demonstrated yesterday outside Chicago Police Branch 36 demanding more police action in the investigation.
