Bobbye Farmby, a 35-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on June 1, 2022, in Chicago’s Washington Park neighborhood. Farmby left his home on the 6200 block of South King Drive and, after a brief conversation with an individual outside an apartment, was struck in the chin by gunfire and pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators reported Farmby had been involved in an argument with the shooter before the shooting. Several months after the killing, 49-year-old Eddie Howlett was arrested and charged with one felony count of first-degree murder; he allegedly shot Farmby following a verbal altercation as Farmby was leaving a residence. A detention hearing was scheduled soon after the arrest and legal proceedings are ongoing.

Does anyone who lived in or near Washington Park at the time remember that early-morning disturbance or have information about what led up to the argument?
