Chicago police are looking to identity three people involved in the fatal shooting of a man in Chatham last week.

Edward Creamer, 53, was arguing with four people about 1 p.m. on Dec. 20 when one of them pulled out a gun and fired shots in the 700 block of East 87th Street near the Chatham Village Square mall, Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.

Creamer was shot three times and was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, where he died, officials said.

Surveillance video showed one of the suspects wearing a black winter hat, blue puffy jacket and blue jeans. The second was wearing a camo-print winter hat, black jacket and black pants. The third was wearing a black baseball cap with a white logo, black jacket, purple shirt and purple pants.

The suspects were seen leaving the scene in a silver Nissan.
