Keontay Hightie, a 21-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on June 8, 2022, in Chicago. The shooting happened about 11:40 a.m. on a porch in the 3800 block of West Maypole Avenue after an argument escalated. He was taken to Stroger Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after the incident.

Hightie had been featured in the 2014 Vice documentary series Last Chance High, which followed students at Moses Montefiore Academy. The series noted his early involvement with gangs and drug dealing; by age 16 he had been shot in the leg and six of his friends had been murdered. In February 2021 he was arrested in downtown Chicago in a stolen car where a gun with a switch to fire fully automatic was found; he faced weapons and trespass charges, but in April 2022 prosecutors dropped the weapons counts and he pleaded guilty to criminal trespass to a vehicle, receiving time served after nearly a year on electronic monitoring.

Police and the Cook County medical examiner have reported the facts above; investigators say the shooting began during an argument but have not disclosed suspect information and no arrests have been announced. Anyone who knew Keontay or has information about the June 8 shooting is asked to come forward.
