Delisa Tucker, a 31-year-old African American mother of six, was shot and killed on November 24, 2021, in Chicago’s Roseland neighborhood. She was visiting the 200 block of West 110th Place to light candles in memory of her 14-year-old son, Kevin Tinker Jr., who had been fatally shot on that same sidewalk two days earlier. Tucker was found lying on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound to her chest and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Kevin Tinker Jr., described as a quiet, non-gang-affiliated eighth grader, had been shot multiple times while standing on the same sidewalk. Investigations into both shootings are being handled by the Chicago Police Department’s Area Two Detectives. As of the latest reports, no arrests have been made, no suspects identified, and police have not confirmed whether the two shootings are connected; there were no witnesses to Tucker’s shooting.

The family has endured multiple losses to gun violence over the years, and a GoFundMe was created to help cover funeral expenses and support Tucker’s surviving children, ages 4 to 15. Does anyone who lived in or near Roseland at that time have information about either shooting?
