Antonio “Tony” Larry died Tuesday of injuries suffered in a shooting a week earlier in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood on the Southwest Side.
Officers responded to a shooting at 1:12 p.m. Wednesday, May 24, at a home in the 6000 block of South Fairfield, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Inside the home, they found the 37-year-old Larry shot multiple times.
Larry, who lived on the same block as the shooting, was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead at 8:07 p.m. Tuesday, authorities said.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help with funeral expenses.
The author of the page wrote of Larry: “Tony was amazing friend and brother and son to his family friends and mother. He was not perfect but to his family he was their strength. … He never said no when someone needed help he truly was a rock. All of our lives he taught us so much about what family truly meant and how important it was to him…”
