Edjuan Stephen Wilson, 21, was shot and killed on February 13, 2022, in Chicago’s South Austin neighborhood. The shooting occurred about 5:25 p.m. while he was standing on the sidewalk in the 5900 block of West Madison Street; he was struck in the chest and leg and died after being taken to Stroger Hospital in critical condition.

Known as EJ, he was remembered by family and friends for his positive demeanor, infectious smile, and supportive nature. A former Oak Park River Forest High School student who played football and basketball, he was also a college student with a passion for performing rap music. His family has distributed fliers and appealed for information; no arrests have been announced and the Chicago Police Department is investigating.

The community has held fundraisers and vigils and a GoFundMe was set up to help cover funeral expenses. Does anyone have information about that evening on West Madison Street or recall seeing anything unusual in the area?
