Personal Plea: New Information on Dan Firkins Death, Still No One to Blame

By Jamie G. Goldstein

It has been almost two weeks since Dan Firkins' life was taken away from him. As more information begins to surface there are more unanswered questions. Danny was found with 2 skull fracture lying unconscious on the street near the corner of Honore and North Avenue in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood. Witness say that he may have had a disagreement with a cab driver when the cab pulled away while Danny was partially inside the passenger side window of the cab. Questions are now being raised as to whether or not Danny was hit with some type of object before the cab pulled away.

With two skull fractures and the shape that Danny was found, it seems that there is definitely more to this story, and I would not be surprised if Danny was hit with an object. It seems something more would have had to have happened to give him such horrific injuries.

Whoever did this to Danny, intentionally left him barely clinging to life in the middle of the street. I do not understand how any descent human being could do this to another person. I don't care what you were arguing over, if in fact you were arguing, no disagreement is worth someone losing their life. Whoever you are, you need to come forward. Danny's family deserves at least that much. If you know who did this to Danny or have any information on what happened, you need to contact the police. We need to make our communities safe for each other and catching the person who did this will bring us one step closer to a safe community.

If you have any information, please contact police at 312-345-4521 and reference case number HS307531.

A reward has been posted for $20,000 leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who took Danny's life.

Danny we all miss you and we're still fighting for you!
