Chicago man sentenced 50 years in deadly Rogers Park shooting of DePaul student Gary Tinder in 2020
20-year-old shot while walking home from work
CHICAGO (WLS) -- A Chicago man has received a 50-year sentence in the deadly shooting of a DePaul University student in June of 2020.
Jahrod Jean was found guilty by a jury in the death of Gary Tinder, who was fatally shot in the 6200-block of North Troy Street in Rogers Park, while walking home from the Andersonville Starbucks, where he worked.
Witnesses identified Jean, who was charged with first-degree murder.
He was sentenced Tuesday, court records show.
Friends remembered Tinder as curious and self-motivated. He taught himself to play guitar, and was studying accounting at DePaul, where he had a 4.0 GPA.
"Gary Tinder was a quiet, happy 20-year-old," said Andrea Raila, who hired Tinder as an intern at her law firm for the summer.
Tinder was also an active member at the Edgewater Baptist Church.
