Ohleyer Jones, a 19-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on January 21, 2022, in the Gresham neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. The shooting happened about 9 p.m. while he stood outside on the 9000 block of South Normal Avenue. He was struck multiple times in the legs and upper body, taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in critical condition, and died shortly after arrival.

Investigators say the shooting was part of an alleged robbery plot involving Jones’ girlfriend, 19-year-old Akiya Sims, and 19-year-old Deon Evans, who share a child with Sims. Prosecutors allege Evans arranged for Sims and Jones to go to a friend’s home so Sims could steal Jones’ gold chain. A warning from a friend did not stop Jones; he stopped on Normal Avenue where a white SUV pulled up, Evans and another man exited, and Jones was shot six times. Sims was also wounded in the leg and then left the scene in the SUV with the others.

Surveillance video reportedly captured the incident, cell tower records placed Sims and Evans at the scene, Evans was later found with the gold chain, and the SUV was registered to his mother. Both Sims and Evans were charged with first-degree murder; Sims was held without bail after her court appearance. Does anyone have information about Jones, his movements that night, or those involved?
