The Case File Preview

A nineteen-year-old man walked out of a store on Martin Luther King Drive in Chicago and seconds later collapsed on the sidewalk after being struck in the head by a .45 caliber round. More than a decade later, the homicide report still leaves behind the same two names that continue haunting the case: “DJ” and “Butter.”

The Shooting On MLK Drive

According to the Chicago Police Department reports, Sheroid Liggins was shot on February 16, 2012 near 64th and Martin Luther King Drive after exiting a store beside Swisher & Sweets. Detectives recovered .45 caliber shell casings, fired bullet fragments, blood evidence, surveillance footage, and witness statements describing multiple suspects fleeing through the area after the gunfire erupted.

The full archive goes deeper into the exact crime scene layout, the shell casing recovery points, the surveillance footage timeline, and the witness accounts that slowly turned this case into one of the most debated unsolved drill-era investigations online.

The “DJ” And “Butter” Names

The case became controversial after witnesses and later interviews started repeatedly mentioning the nicknames “DJ,” “Day Day,” and “Butter.” Detectives later connected “DJ” to Dayton Johnson, while online discussions spent years arguing over whether “Butter” referred to the same “Butta” figure heavily discussed in STL and EBT circles.

The deeper breakdown separates what the police paperwork actually says from what the internet turned into street mythology.

The Ballistic Evidence

The homicide file also includes ballistic reports connecting the .45 caliber shell casings from Sheroid Liggins’ murder scene to another shooting through IBIS firearm analysis. That detail opened an entirely different lane inside the investigation because detectives were no longer only chasing witness rumors. They were following the weapon itself through multiple violent incidents.

The full case file breaks down the ballistic evidence, surveillance footage, AutoZone camera recovery, POD footage, witness contradictions, and the larger South Side war atmosphere surrounding the shooting.
