Seandell Holliday was a 16-year-old African American male who died on May 14, 2022, after being shot in Millennium Park near the Bean in Chicago. Seandell allegedly jumped on Richardson’s back and punched him in the head; Richardson then drew a firearm and shot Seandell in the chest. Seandell was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to Lurie Children’s Hospital.

Marion Richardson was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm, and unlawful use of a weapon. The case was moved from juvenile court to Cook County court to be handled as an adult, a decision opposed by the public defender but upheld by the judge. City officials, including Mayor Lori Lightfoot, imposed a 6:00 p.m. curfew for unaccompanied minors in Millennium Park Thursday through Sunday after the shooting. Body camera footage and social media posts were used in the investigation.
