"You say you loved Glenn and you’d do anything for him - prove it," said family member Christina Goliday.

Investigators say on August 21st, 2021 someone pulled up to the house off Morley Street near West Chicago and Wyoming and opened fire from inside of a white Town and Country minivan leaving Glenn to die.
