Four sought in fatal bludgeoning of man, 25, after fight in Avondale tavern

Chicago police are asking for the public’s help in identifying four people they want to talk to because they say they are linked to the fatal bludgeoning of a 25-year-old man who died after a fight in a bar in Avondale last month.

Alexander C. Kazanowski, 25, was found unresponsive on the ground outside at 3942 W. Belmont Ave. with head injuries about 3:20 a.m. on March 24, Chicago police said.

Detectives learned that Kazanowski earlier had been “forcibly removed” from the Tune Up Bar, 3910 W. Belmont Ave., after a fight there, according to a police report.

Kazanowski was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in critical condition. But Kazanowski, of the 4900 block of West Nelson Avenue, was pronounced dead at 3:31 p.m. March 28th, the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.

An autopsy on March 29th determined Kazanowski died of blunt head trauma from an assault, and his death was ruled a homicide, according to the medical examiner’s office.

Anyone with information about the attack or those pictures is urged to contact detectives, (312) 746-6614 or submit an anonymous tip at CPDTIP.com and use reference RD # JK192078.

Area 5 detectives are investigating.
