Antoine French, a 25-year-old African American man, was found fatally shot on February 28, 2022, in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago. He was discovered lying in the 5500 block of West Jackson Boulevard around 11:30 p.m. and was pronounced dead at the scene after sustaining multiple gunshot wounds.

Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office treated the death as a homicide and opened an investigation. Detectives canvassed the area, reviewed nearby surveillance footage and developed several leads, but no arrests were reported and no definitive suspect has been identified. Investigators cited a lack of willing eyewitnesses and limited physical evidence as obstacles. Community members and local organizations have held vigils and rallies while the case remained open and under active investigation.
