Deshawn Thompson, a 19-year-old African American man, was found fatally shot on March 17, 2022, in the Lawndale neighborhood on Chicago’s West Side. Police responded about 10:55 p.m. to the 1400 block of South Kenneth Avenue after a report of a person shot and discovered Thompson unresponsive with gunshot wounds to his face and head; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses reported seeing a silver SUV drive away after the shots were fired, but no suspects were immediately identified or arrested. The Chicago Police Department has continued the investigation and is asking anyone with information to come forward; investigators say a lack of witnesses willing to speak has hampered progress.
