Shenan Thompson, a 56-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on the evening of November 10, 2022, while sitting on the back porch of his home in Bronzeville, Chicago. He was struck twice in the chest around 10:15 p.m., taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Investigators arrested 30-year-old Kenneth Haywood, who was on parole and had been living with his mother and Thompson, charging him with first-degree murder. Prosecutors say Haywood was the only person in the home at the time; family members identified him on surveillance footage as he fled the area and he discarded a jacket at a CTA station before turning himself in two days later. No firearm has been recovered and the motive remains unclear.

A judge acknowledged the largely circumstantial case and released Haywood on a $400,000 D-bond; he was due back in court on December 2, 2022. Does anyone have information about Shenan Thompson, his last evening, or the moments leading up to the shooting?
