Devonte Scott, 28, was shot to death on February 20, 2022, in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on Chicago’s Southwest Side. The shooting happened just after 6 p.m. while he was sitting in his car in the 5300 block of South Hermitage Street. A group of individuals approached, demanded his belongings and then opened fire, striking him in the head; he was pronounced dead at the scene and the Cook County medical examiner confirmed the cause of death.

Chicago police opened an investigation but reported no immediate arrests. Investigators said they faced challenges due to a lack of witnesses and concrete leads, and there were no significant public updates on suspects or court proceedings in the months after the killing. The family and community continued to seek justice and authorities asked anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone in the neighborhood or who knew Devonte have information that could help the investigation?
