Antonio Rankin, a 22-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on January 1, 2022, in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting happened about 5:25 a.m. in the 6000 block of South Bishop Street; Rankin was found in an alley with a gunshot wound to his back, taken to Saint Bernard Hospital and pronounced dead.

Prosecutors say the shooting happened after a house party on Bishop Street turned violent. Several men left the house, walked roughly half a block away, and two men began firing toward the home. Antwyone Green, who remained on the porch, allegedly returned fire with a weapon that appeared to produce automatic fire. That exchange reportedly resulted in Rankin’s fatal wound.

Antwyone Green, 29, was charged with unlawful use of a weapon by a felon; his record includes prior convictions for unlawful use of a weapon in 2017 and possession of a stolen motor vehicle in 2015. Tayvon Powe, 22, was charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon. Changes to Illinois law narrowing the felony murder rule affected whether Powe could be charged with first-degree murder for Rankin’s death.

Did anyone in the area witness the party or the shooting who can add details about what happened that morning?
