Kevin Tinker Jr., 14, was shot and killed on November 21, 2021, in the Roseland neighborhood of Chicago. He was walking home from a friend’s house and was standing on the sidewalk on West 110th Place near South Wentworth Avenue when he was struck multiple times around 5:09 p.m. His father described him as a good kid who liked basketball and video games and said Kevin was not involved in gang activity.

Chicago Police released surveillance footage showing two male suspects, both Black, leaving a convenience store and getting into a silver Nissan hatchback; both wore black hoodies and pants, one with black gym shoes and the other with white gym shoes. Investigators have asked the public for help identifying them.

Kevin’s mother, Delisa Tucker, 31, was fatally shot days later on the same street while visiting the site to light a candle for her son; police have not confirmed a connection between the two shootings. A GoFundMe was established to help with funeral costs and support Delisa’s surviving children.

If anyone knew Kevin or Delisa, or saw activity near West 110th Place and South Wentworth Avenue around November 21, 2021, information could be crucial.
