Tajhuan Dowd was 20 when he was shot and killed on January 2, 2022, in South Austin, Chicago. The shooting happened about 11:15 PM while he was standing in the street in the 5200 block of West Van Buren Street. Someone in a white sedan fired, hitting him in the neck and back. He was taken to Stroger Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival; the Cook County medical examiner listed multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death.

Investigators have asked the public for help; reports say a lack of witnesses and limited leads has complicated the probe. Vigils and memorials were held by family and community members afterward.

Does anyone who was in the South Austin area that night have information that could help identify the vehicle or those responsible?
