CHICAGO (CBS) -- A Southwest Side business owner was murdered Friday, and police are looking for his killer.

CBS 2's Jeremy Ross reports.

Chicago police squads drive in and out of a place used to vehicle traffic. For a time, LL Pena Trucking Inc. -- at the corner of Keating and 43rd -- saw more investigators than trailers.

Neighbors say cops began gathering about 9:30 a.m. Friday.

Police say the victim was shot in the head twice and pronounced at the scene.

The victim is described as a family man, and a hard worker spending long hours at the business.

Police say no one is in custody.
