Deontae D. Winfrey, a 29-year-old African American man, was shot and killed in a parking lot in the 400 block of South Clark Street in Chicago on August 6, 2022, at about 3:20 a.m. Surveillance video captured a chaotic scene with multiple shooters. Winfrey suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A 23-year-old man was also wounded and survived.

The shooting occurred during a weekend when the city saw a sharp spike in gun violence; at least 58 people were shot that weekend, nine fatally. Investigators reviewed whether a nearby CTA station stabbing was related, but no charges were announced in connection with that stabbing. In April 2024 a grand jury indicted 23-year-old Lavarious West on six counts of murder; surveillance footage was cited in identifying West among the gunmen.

Did anyone in the area that night see or record anything that could help clarify what led up to the shooting?
