Lawrence Longstreet, 26, was shot and killed on June 30, 2022, in the Kenwood neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. The shooting happened about 10:40 p.m. while Longstreet and a 29-year-old woman were standing on the sidewalk in the 4600 block of South Ellis Avenue. An unknown assailant opened fire, striking Longstreet in the chest; he was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and pronounced dead. The woman was shot in the leg, taken to the same hospital, and reported to be in good condition.

Witnesses said the suspect fled into an alley and left in a gray SUV. No arrests have been made and the suspect remains at large. Longstreet had a prior arrest in 2015, when he was charged with aggravated battery with a firearm after a 16-year-old was shot in the back and survived. The investigation is ongoing.
