Benjamin O’Neal, 20, and his 17-year-old brother Johnathan O’Neal were shot and killed in an alley in the 4800 block of North Ashland Avenue in Chicago on December 14, 2022, about 10 p.m. A light-colored sedan pulled up, and an unknown person inside opened fire, striking both brothers multiple times. They were taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where both were pronounced dead.

Family members say Johnathan had been lured outside by someone he knew and that the suspect stripped him of a $300 Northface jacket after the shooting. Relatives believe the attack may have been retaliatory and possibly tied to a dispute involving Johnathan. Police have not made any arrests and have not confirmed whether the killings were connected to a separate shooting about 20 minutes earlier that grazed a 15-year-old roughly five blocks away. A memorial has been left at the scene and the family has asked for help with funeral expenses.

If anyone has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
