Renowned local street artist Brendan "Solve" Scanlon was murdered in Logan Square Friday night. Police have a suspect in custody, but charges haven't been filed yet.

These pics are of a small fraction of Solve's work, which could be seen all over the city. Here's a video of Scanlon talking about his work, which came up on this very site a few months ago.
