Fourteen-year-old James Sweezer was fatally shot on January 12, 2022, in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood. He was standing on the sidewalk in the 1400 block of South 73rd Street at about 8:45 p.m. when someone in a passing dark-colored vehicle opened fire. James was struck in the head and taken to Comer Children’s Hospital, where he later died.

The shooting occurred on a day that also saw another 14-year-old, Javion Ivy, killed in a separate incident. Investigators recovered limited video and some firearm evidence and have collected witness accounts, but no arrests or suspects had been identified. The Chief of Detectives, Brendan Deenihan, has urged community assistance as detectives seek more information to move the cases forward.
