Summary

On a spring day four years ago, a gunman burst into a restaurant in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood. He opened fire, killing two young men in the eatery, and a pair of brothers attempting to flee the scene.

Many questions remain about the murders that occurred on March 30, 2017 in Nadia's Fish & Chicken Grill. The sudden massacre happened in the midst of a spate of killings in the South Shore. Police quickly identified a local suspect: 19-year-old Maurice Harris. He had just lost his father to gun violence, and police hosted a press conference declaring that their suspect was likely out for vengeance.

But the case was far from over. As it turns out, the Chicago Police Department failed to disclose some key details about Harris, details that would have major implications for the case.

Join the Murder Sheet's Áine Cain and Kevin Greenlee in the first episode of "In the Shadow of Nadia," a new miniseries investigating the Nadia's Fish & Chicken murders. This episode will delve into the events of March 2017, offering a detailed timeline on the shooting at Nadia and a series of potentially-connected crimes.
