A man beaten last week after a confrontation with people who blocked the car he was in on the West Side has died, authorities said Thursday.
Andre Jackson, 23, was injured in an attack in the 4500 block of West Gladys Avenue, and pronounced dead at 5:51 a.m. Tuesday at Mount Sinai Hospital, according to authorities. Jackson died of complications from multiple blunt force injuries in a homicide, the Cook County medical examiner’s office determined Wednesday following an autopsy.
Jackson and a 20-year-old man were in a vehicle near Gladys and Kolmar avenues about 9:30 p.m. Aug. 4 when a group of people blocked their path, resulting in a verbal dispute, said Officer Thomas Sweeney, a police spokesman.
The two men were hit with bats and fists, but they managed to get away to the 4800 block of West Quincy Street, where they called 911.
Jackson was taken in serious condition to Mount Sinai for the treatment of head injuries. The younger man suffered minor injuries, including cuts.
No one was in custody.
