[ no audio ] we're going to

show you that video in a moment or two. the security camera video came from a business adjacent to the riverdale crime scene. that crime scene, the home of 52-year-old melvin burnside. let's look. investigators scoured video from the murder scene and found this. a shot of the man they think they're looking for. there's also a sketch courtesy of a second victim in the deadly attack. a woman who police say got a good look at the gunman. >> melvin burnside was shot to death in his home. at this time, there is no one in custody and investigators are interviewing witnesses. >> to the family, our condolences and prayers are with you. >> i don't understand who would do this to my father and take him from us. >> reporter: 52-year-old melvin burnside was loved in riverdale, lived on this quiet street for more than 20 years, gave to charity, worked as a volunteer. >> he was a very kind and sweet

and noble man. there wasn't anything he wouldn't do for anybody. >> reporter: but the successful businessman also flashed money around from time to time, friends say. and melvin worked until late last night at the family bar reese's lounge. investigators are looking into the possibility that someone may have followed him home. the possible suspect described as a black male, 18-27 years old with a medium build. 5'5" to 5'7" wearing a rough- colored hooded sweatshirt with white lettering on the front. >> the type of person he was, i would wonder why somebody would target him. >> reporter: and tonight friends are gathered at the bar to remember that man. >> fond memories of melvin. hell of a personality. >> reporter: it was half an hour of closing up that bar last night that melvin was shot and killed at his home.

police optimistic someone will recognize the person in that surveillance video or on that sketch. give them a call. >> thank you very much. some other news now to report some good news. three of the trapped chilean miners are hope tonight. they did have to undergo a battery of tests at the hospital. and they had a visit from the chilean president. it seems everyone wants to talk to the national heros. chile's president says right now it's time to take care of the men. the november 2nd midterm election weeks away, will overseas votes count for the military men an women? and a candidate's name is misspelled. prank? more on these stories. >> reporter: one-third party candidate says he's having trouble getting notice before the election. now he's got another problem.

combine that with a missed deadline to send ballots to illinois military and we could have an early november mess on our hands. >> but i think something needs to be done above and beyond what they're doing. >> reporter: sticking up for rich whitney. a lawyer who will be known to electronic voters as rich whitey. that's how his name pops up. >> on the one hand, the city of chicago is a laughing stock. on the other hand, our candidate kind of has been tagged with a name that really isn't that nice. that news story has gotten out and we don't know what effect that has on voters. >> reporter: they plan to correct the error on about 8000 machines but not until sunday. so far roughly 4700 ballots with the misspell having cast. and the chairman says there's nothing to be done to change that. >> we feel bad because the

ballot screen right now as it stands now is correct. it's the only secondary fail safe part of the process, the review screen. we don't feel it necessitates stopping early voting. so we don't feel that it will result in the loss of votes for the candidate. >> reporter: in other problems statewide, mark kirk and bill brady want to know how military absentee ballots cast will be counted when the state of illinois missed a deadline to get them overseas. must be mailed out by september 18. voters have until november 1st midnight to postmark them. those ballots have proven to make a difference in tight races when every vote has counted in the past. the two candidates said our service members deserve an immediate investigation to gather all the facts and find an appropriate remedy to ensure their ballots are continuing in this election. tonight the illinois board of

elections isn't worried even if other states have been sued over the mistiming for election. >> any postmarked before midnight the day of the election, the election officials have 14 days after the election to count that ballot. >> reporter: to make sure all absentee ballots will get counted overseas, they will be talking to the justice department tomorrow. rich whitney turned rich whitey, no one believes it was malicious in any way. it appears to be nothing more than a very unfortunate typo. >> thank you. as early voting did get started this week, the first lady taking advantage while she was in town. she cast her ballot at the martin luther king community center. here to raise money for giannoulias and other democrats. she cast her ballot, gave some hugs, but is catching slack tonight for what she may have
