From the Journal Star’s breaking-news department:

David L. McCreary, 35, of 720 S. Greenlawn Ave., was pronounced dead about 11:40 p.m. during surgery at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center. …Police don’t have a motive for the shooting. …No one is in custody.

In a related story, 1470 WMBD-AM reports that Mayor Jim Ardis “says it’s discouraging to see these crimes despite the work everyone is putting in to stopping them.”

Amen, brother.
