Imani Aditalib was 24 and from Chicago when she was shot and killed while riding in the back seat of a car in Chatham late on June 8, 2022. About 11:50 p.m. on the 900 block of East 82nd Street, someone opened fire on the vehicle and struck her in the head. She was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and pronounced dead; the driver and another passenger were not injured. Police reported no one in custody immediately after the shooting.

Family members said she had just finished a shift at Wendy’s, was helping with errands after gathering at her mother’s home, and stayed in the parked car while cousins went upstairs to get a child. She was on FaceTime with her best friend when the friend heard a scream, glimpsed a gun, then the phone fell as shots rang out. Loved ones describe her as ambitious and independent, working two jobs including at the Shedd Aquarium. They canvassed the block, offered an $11,000 reward, and urged anyone with information or the shooter to come forward. Did anyone see the car or the shooting that night on East 82nd Street?
