A young Chicago father was brutally beaten to death outside a bar just weeks before the arrival of his second child, police say. 
Four unidentified suspects remain at large after they allegedly ambushed Alexander Kazanowski, 25, in the Illinois city around 3:20am on March 24. 
Kazanowski, a professional model, was found unresponsive outside the Tune Up bar in the city's Avondale neighborhood, and he later died after being transported to hospital. 
The young father had been asked to leave the bar earlier in the evening, due to 'several comments' he made, employees told WGNTV. 
Witnesses told the outlet that Kazanowski was last seen 'exchanging words' with a group of people outside the bar. 
Officials released images of four people who allegedly beat Kazanowski to death, and the Cook County Crime Stoppers issued a $10,000 reward for information leading to their arrests. 
Security cameras captured the four suspects laughing as they entered the bar on the night of the fatal beating, and police are urgently searching for them in connection with the 25-year-old's death. 
Executive Director of Cook County Crime Stoppers Paul Rutherford said in a statement that Kazanowski's death was a 'brutal and senseless act of violence.' 
He urged the public to come forward with any information that could lead to the suspects being identified. 
'Someone in the community knows what happened, and we are urging them to do the right thing,' Rutherford said. 
'You can remain completely anonymous, and your information could help bring justice to Zander's family. 
We will not stop working until those responsible are held accountable.' 
The model's family said he was just weeks away from welcoming the birth of his second child when his life was 'tragically taken away', they wrote in a GoFundMe for his children. 
'Xander lived boldly with ambition and individuality, inspiring everyone around him. 
He was a devoted son, brother, father, partner and friend,' they wrote in the fundraiser. 
Kazanowski's loved ones added in his obituary that he was a talented actor and model, who 'possessed a natural charisma that enlivened every room he entered.' 
'Though we grieve the many chapters of his life that will now go unwritten, we are forever grateful for the wonderful gift of having had him as a Son, Father, Partner, Brother, Nephew, Cousin, and Friend,' they said. 
'Xander will forever be with us through countless memories and the lasting impact he leaves behind.'
