Police say they've been working to solve the case without the help of security video or witnesses.

"I feel we're very close on that case to closing that case. It's a little bit more work that we need to do, and there's some hurdles involved with that case regarding evidence and things that we need to go through," said Commander Richard Ford.

Police also they're still investigating the Easter morning mass shooting at an Airbnb on the city's North Side.
