Jamal Owens, 37, was shot and killed on April 6, 2022, on the South Side of Chicago. The shooting happened about 10:50 a.m. in the 7800 block of South Sangamon Avenue, near his home; he was found with a gunshot wound to the head and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. A fire also broke out in a nearby house at the same time, but it is unclear whether the two incidents were connected.

No arrests have been announced and investigators say leads have been scarce, leaving the case unsolved. Owens’ family has organized fundraisers for funeral costs and to support his four children, and they have urged the community to get involved in helping solve the crime. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
