A 50-year-old Chicago man is now in custody, accused of taking part in a deadly shooting that left a 61-year-old neighbor dead in Auburn Gresham last fall. Authorities have identified the suspect as Zsoch Dunn and the victim, in published reports, as Zane E. Rhyne. Police say the shooting unfolded on Nov. 14, 2025, in a gangway on the 7600 block of South Sangamon Street. Dunn was arrested after what officials described as a coordinated operation and was scheduled to appear for a detention hearing in Cook County Criminal Court on Tuesday.
Arrest and charges
Chicago police, working with the U.S. Marshals Great Lakes Regional Task Force, picked up Dunn on Monday and charged him in connection with the fatal shooting, according to CBS Chicago. Investigators have not publicly detailed the specific criminal count or offered any explanation of what might have sparked the violence.
Scene and victim
Published reports identify the victim as 61-year-old Zane E. Rhyne, who was discovered unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the chest around 1:25 a.m. on Nov. 14, 2025, in a gangway on the 7600 block of South Sangamon Street, as reported by the Chicago Sun-Times. The outlet reported that Rhyne lived on the same block and was pronounced dead at the scene, with Area 2 detectives taking the lead on the investigation at the time.
Police say motive unclear
So far, police are keeping a tight lid on the details. They have not disclosed a motive and have released little information about what they believe led up to the shooting. Dunn was set for a detention hearing in Cook County Criminal Court on Tuesday, according to CBS Chicago, a step that could begin to reveal how prosecutors are framing the case.
Next steps
Area 2 detectives handled the original investigation into Rhyne’s killing and, with an arrest now on the books, the case shifts fully into the Cook County court system, as reported by the Chicago Sun-Times. Officials have offered few public details as the work continues, and the upcoming detention hearing is expected to serve as an early snapshot of the evidence and arguments that may surface as the case moves forward.
