Ariyon Washington was 17 when he was found shot to death in the early hours of September 25, 2022, in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood. He was discovered in the passenger seat of a car in the 7000 block of South Ada Street around 12:20 a.m., with a fatal gunshot wound to the left side of his head and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Chicago Police Department and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the circumstances but reported no immediate suspects or arrests. Investigators say the case has produced few leads and that the lack of witnesses has hindered progress. Ariyon’s murder is noted as part of ongoing gun violence affecting parts of Chicago, including Englewood.

Anyone who knew Ariyon or who has information that could help the investigation is urged to come forward.
