Tacara Tunstall was 19 when she was killed in a drive-by shooting in Chicago’s Gresham neighborhood on August 14, 2022. The shooting happened around 2:24 a.m. on the 1800 block of West 78th Street. Tacara was struck in the chest and twice in the arm; she was taken to St. Bernard Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office listed her cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds.

Four other teenagers were wounded in the same attack: a 17-year-old girl critically with a gunshot to the back, an 18-year-old man and a 19-year-old man shot in the arms, and a 17-year-old boy shot in the torso. Area Two detectives are handling the investigation; witnesses said the shooter fired from a vehicle and more than 100 rounds were discharged. No arrests have been announced, and Father Michael Pfleger offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

If anyone has information about the shooting or Tacara’s last known movements, please come forward to investigators.
