Personal Plea: Death of Dan Firkins, Still Looking for Cab Driver Responsible

By Jamie G. Goldstein

After suffering two skull fractures and other injuries, Danny Firkins life came to an end on Saturday May 22, 2010, just over a week after he had been run over by a Chicago cab driver who fled the scene. Danny was a bright 32 year old man with a great future ahead of him. He was taking classes at the University of Chicago's business school. He had a great family that he cared for deeply and was a friend to everyone, including myself. He lit up the room with his smile and humor. Just over a week ago, that was all taken away by the senseless act of another human being who has yet to be found.

A reward of $20,000 has been offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who killed Danny Firkins. It is believed he was ran over by a cab with a blue stripe being driven by a man of Middle Eastern descent. This was in the middle of the day, Friday May 14, 2010, at 3:30 in Bucktown near the corner of Honore and North on a Friday. Someone knows something and I ask that you please come forward. If you do know something please contact the Chicago Police at 312-745-4521. You can also post comments on the Dan Firkin's Facebook Page or to this blog.

Danny we love you and we miss you dearly. We will find who did this to you.
