Fredrica Coleman, a 36-year-old African American single mother of eight, was killed on June 19, 2022, outside her Englewood home in Chicago. She was returning from grocery shopping around 8:30 p.m. in the 6400 block of South Marshfield Avenue when gunfire erupted; witnesses reported hearing 11 to 16 shots. Two cars, described as a white Malibu and a black Impala, were seen speeding away. Coleman was struck in the head by a stray bullet and later pronounced dead at the University of Chicago Medical Center.

No arrests have been made and detectives have not identified suspects or a motive. Her eight children, ages four to nineteen, are now in the care of her sister; the family has launched a GoFundMe to cover counseling, housing and other needs. The Chicago Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone in the Englewood area remember seeing a white Malibu or black Impala near South Marshfield Avenue that evening or have information that could help the investigation?
