Marquise Pryor, a 27-year-old African American man from Chicago, was fatally shot on August 12, 2022. Officers responding around 10:45 p.m. to a report of a shooting found Pryor at Dan Ryan Woods Forest Preserve with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Pryor played basketball at Orr Academy and appeared in the 2018 Fox Sports documentary Shot in the Dark. In recent years he opened a neighborhood store and a salon on 87th Street, efforts described as investments in his community. Those who knew him, including former coaches and friends, remembered him as a gentle giant who had worked to turn his life around after earlier legal trouble.

No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified and investigators have not released details about motive or leads. Did anyone in the area see or hear anything around Dan Ryan Woods on the night of August 12, 2022?
