Tashawna Anderson was 26 and a mother when she was shot and killed outside the 10pin Bowling Lounge in Chicago’s River North neighborhood on April 30, 2022. She had been at a birthday party there with her sister LaShawn; the two sisters became embroiled in a confrontation after Tashawna spotted a man identified by prosecutors as Jason McMahan. Prosecutors say the dispute escalated outside the club after McMahan and his girlfriend briefly left and returned.

Prosecutors allege McMahan punched a woman who tapped on the passenger window of his car, then fired several shots as she fell. Tashawna was struck in the chest and was later pronounced dead at Northwestern Memorial Hospital; LaShawn was shot in the thigh and survived. Surveillance footage and witness identifications are reported to have captured the shooting; a .40-caliber pistol later recovered was linked to shell casings from the scene.

Authorities arrested Jason McMahan on January 3, 2023, charging him with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and aggravated battery with a firearm. At a hearing bail was denied and McMahan pleaded not guilty in February 2023; the court case was then ongoing. If anyone knew Tashawna or witnessed the events that night, can you share what you saw or know?
