CHICAGO — A 58-year-old man has died more than a year after he was shot in Auburn Gresham, officials said.

On March 8, 2016, the man — later identified as Joseph Campbell — was in the 8500 block of South Emerald Avenue when he was shot in his face, police said. The man was taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition.

Campbell, of the 6700 block of South Loomis, died 4:39 a.m. July 22, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office. An autopsy showed Campbell died of complications of a gunshot wound in his face in a homicide.

The case had been reclassified as a homicide, police said.

No further information was immediately available.
