Ronald Pitts, a 33-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on November 3, 2021, in the Grand Crossing neighborhood of Chicago. He was walking his dog about 5:20 p.m. on the sidewalk in the 7200 block of South Woodlawn Avenue when a vehicle approached and someone inside fired, striking him in the head. The shooting occurred in broad daylight; his wife, Taylor Pitts, said their dog returned home without him and that she believes several people witnessed the attack.

Pitts was a father of seven children, including six girls and a six-month-old boy. His family described him as deeply involved in his children’s lives and said they are in shock and mourning. No arrests have been announced and the Chicago police continue to investigate; the family and community have urged anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone who was in the Grand Crossing area that evening have details that could help identify the vehicle or its occupants?
