Video, Documents Sought in Homicide Case Involving Daley Nephew

A grand jury investigating a homicide case involving former Mayor Richard Daley's nephew is looking for surveillance video of the incident, but there's no word if it's been successful.

David Koschman died 11 days after he was punched in the face on Division Street in 2004. Bar owners in the area say they've been subpoenaed by the grand jury to turn over any footage or documents they may have, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Monday.

The grand jury, led by former U.S. Attorney Dan Webb, was convened three months ago.

Koschman's family has long claimed that Daley's nephew, Richard "RJ" Vanecko, delivered the fatal punch.

The death was ruled a homicide, but no one was ever charged.

The Cook County judge who appointed Webb to the case, Michael Toomin, said there was an appearance of impropriety and an attempt to denigrate the evidence against Vanecko.
