Early in the day of August 16, 1931, 38-year-old Herman Horowitz, described as a minor hoodlum, sat in his car on Chicago's North Side chatting with a "woman in green", who stood at his door. After conversing for about fifteen minutes, the woman walked away. After the woman left two men approached the car and drew revolvers. Horowitz ducked the best he could but the men fired six shots, which proved fatal, into his body and took off.
Police felt that the "woman in green" had spotted Horowitz for the gunmen. The dead man followed his brother Benjamin and his friend Frank Cawley to an early grave. In addition to two arrests for robbery, Horowitz was also known as a hi-jacker.
