Dashawn Harris was 21 when he was fatally shot on June 23, 2022, near the 79th Street CTA Red Line station in Chicago. Around 9:35 p.m., an unknown assailant approached Harris and three others standing on a sidewalk at 79th and Lafayette Avenue and opened fire. Harris was hit in the chest and hand and later died at the University of Chicago Medical Center; the Cook County medical examiner confirmed his death.

Three other people were wounded: a 23-year-old woman shot in the arm and taken to the same hospital in fair condition, and a 40-year-old man and a 26-year-old man who were also injured but survived. The shooting followed other recent violence near the same station; a week earlier another man was killed outside the CTA stop and a few days before that someone was shot on the Red Line platform at 47th Street. No arrests have been announced and the Chicago Police Department has not released information about suspects or motives.

If anyone saw the shooting near 79th and Lafayette Avenue that night or has information about who carried it out, please come forward.
