A man who was fatally shot in Chicago early Sunday morning reportedly had nightmares about being shot shortly before his death, according to his girlfriend.
Jasmine Jones told the Chicago Tribune she was sitting on the front porch of a home in the 7000 block of South Artesian Avenue with her boyfriend Darius Brownlee when a stranger came up and asked them if they had any marijuana.
The pair said no, but the man asked again a few minutes later. When the couple said no a second time, the man shot Brownlee in the head, Jones told the publication.
Police said the 25-year-old was shot in the head around 2:50 a.m. and found on the lawn of the residence. Authorities ruled the shooting had sparked from a verbal altercation during a party.
Brownlee was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office.
Jones told the Tribune Brownlee had been having bad dreams lately and said he had “a bad feeling.” She said he told her he recently had a dream he was shot.
Police said no one was in custody for the shooting as of Monday morning and the incident remained under investigation.
