A man was discovered deceased in the same Grand Crossing assisted-living facility where a fatal police-related incident occurred on Monday morning.

Around 2:50 a.m., Chicago police responded to a report of a man with a knife threatening people at the Grand Regency of Jackson Park located in the 1400 block of East 75th Street.

Officers went to the unit where the suspect lived, on the fifth floor, and tried to speak with him, police said.

Upon entering the facility, officers encountered the suspect who was brandishing a knife. Police attempted to use a Taser on him, but it was ineffective in subduing the man.

Police said the suspect advanced toward officers while armed with the knife.

Police asked him to drop the knife, and he refused, CPD said.

Officers eventually fired at him, killing him.

The man, who was reportedly in his mid-40s, died on the scene, police said.

Police later confirmed that another man was found with cuts to his neck and arm in another unit on the fifth floor.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office identified him as 58-year-old Keith Harding. It is not clear if his death related to Monday morning’s incident.

“It’s scary,” said Maxine Johnson, who lives in the building. “It’s terrifying, I know. I can’t even believe it.”

The facility is listed as a program for adults with physical disabilities who need assistance.

“It’s a good thing police was there for our safety, in case something did go terribly wrong,” resident Kerry Heath said. “He’s a good guy, sorry that happened. I’ve very surprised.”

While she does not know who was killed, one woman who’s been in the building for two years said she has safety concerns living there.

“No, I don’t feel safe,” Johnson said. “I feed scared all the time.”

The identity of the man killed by police has not yet been released.

“I knew him. He was a friend of mine. I know something was wrong with him when he stayed away from the crowd,” resident Robert Gary said.

Several residents say they have no idea what may have led to the confrontation with police. They say he kept to himself.

Other residents say the man who police fatally shot had lived at the facility for about a year.

A knife was recovered from the scene, police said. The Investigation Response Team and the Civilian Office of Police Accountability are investigating.

Members of that man’s family declined to comment at this time.

The officers involved will be placed on administrative duties for a minimum of 30 days.

A person was shot and critically wounded by an off-duty Chicago police officer in the Roseland neighborhood shortly after the Grand Crossing incident Monday morning, Chicago police said.
