Witnesses said Lawrence was part of a group on one side of Clark that was arguing with a group on the other side.
Despite traffic, the groups converged in the middle of the street, at which point someone shot Lawrence twice, according to Dennis Trelinski, who saw the shooting from his eighth-floor balcony half a block south of the crime scene.
Even with two gunshot wounds, the victim continued to yell at the shooter from the asphalt, Trelinski said. The shooter, who had walked away, then walked back into the street and shot him several more times.
The shooter then got into a vehicle and drove away in an unknown direction, police said at the time.
Chicago Police later released two surveillance photos from the scene, one showing the suspected shooter and the other showing the getaway car.
Lawrence was the father of two and was known to family and friends as "Rico."
