Romanus C. Ozuruigbo, 35, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of August 7, 2022, in the Gresham neighborhood of Chicago. He was among a group gathered in a parking lot on the 1800 block of West 87th Street when an argument erupted and gunfire broke out around 5:30 a.m. Romanus was struck in the chest and arm and was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Known to friends and family as Chris, Romanus grew up without an active father and often spent holidays alone while his mother worked. He is survived by a young son, Rome Jr. A GoFundMe was set up to help provide a proper funeral.

If anyone was in the area that morning or has information about the argument or the shooting, please come forward to the Chicago police.
