Khalil Tariq White-El was 18 when he was shot multiple times and killed on August 23, 2022, in an alley near 87th and Wabash in Chicago’s Chatham neighborhood. He had recently graduated high school, was working at a local car wash, and participated in St. Sabina Catholic Church’s Strong Futures violence-intervention program and other youth initiatives.

Khalil was pronounced dead at the scene by the Chicago Police Department. His mother, Regina Howard, described her grief, and St. Sabina’s pastor, Father Michael Pfleger, called the perpetrators cowards and vowed to pursue justice. No arrests had been made in connection with the shooting.

St. Sabina has held memorials and continued anti-violence programming in Khalil’s name. If anyone has information about what happened that evening near 87th and Wabash, please come forward.
