Police have released a sketch of a man suspected of fatally shooting a 66-year-old Gold Coast shop owner during an apparent robbery in March in the Gage Park neighborhood.

Herbert Goode, owner of Silver Cloud Gallery at 20 W. Ohio St., was shot in the chest in what appeared to be a robbery about 2 p.m. March 1 in the 2300 block of West 57th Street, authorities said.

Goode was standing near the driver’s side door of his vehicle when the gunman approached and a struggle ensued, according to Area Central detectives.

The gunman then shot Goode and fled, police said.

Authorities describe the gunman as a 20- to 30-year-old black man with a medium complexion. He is about 6-feet tall, has an average build, low haircut and a tattoo on the right side of his neck that may have the word “PAM” with a ribbon underneath.

Police consider the shooter armed and dangerous, and ask anyone who sees him to call 911.

Anyone with information is asked to call detectives at (312) 747-8380.
