Deshawn Champion, 32, was shot and killed on March 21, 2022, outside a grocery store in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood, on the 1700 block of East 79th Street. He was standing with a group when a 17-year-old allegedly opened fire; Champion was struck in the chest and died after being taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center. A second man, 23-year-old Antonio Wilson, was also killed, two 31-year-old men were wounded, and a 20-year-old present was not hit.

Surveillance video reportedly captured the shooting and the suspect’s escape. Prosecutors say the teen rode a Divvy bike to the area, left it in an alley, walked past the group, fired, then retrieved the bike and fled; officers later arrested him after a brief foot chase and recovered a handgun matching shell casings from the scene. The suspect, Brandon DuPart, faces two counts of first-degree murder and three counts of attempted murder; court proceedings were ongoing in April 2022.

Anyone who knew Deshawn Champion or witnessed the shooting is asked to come forward with information.
