Devin Boom McGregor was 5 when he was fatally shot during a drive-by shooting on August 28, 2022, in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago. He was sitting in the back seat of his mother’s car, saying goodbye to his father, when a black Hyundai pulled up alongside and someone inside opened fire. Devin was struck in the head, taken to Lurie Children’s Hospital in critical condition, and died four days later.

Family described Devin as bright and energetic; he had just started kindergarten at Willard Elementary School in Evanston, enjoyed playing basketball with his young uncles and video games like Roblox, and was affectionately known as Boom. Police initially had a person in custody who was later released; as of the latest updates no arrests have been made and the shooter remains at large. A reward has been offered and community members have held memorial events while urging anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone have information about that day or the vehicles and people seen in Rogers Park on August 28, 2022?
