Charles Starks, a 20-year-old African American man from Chicago, was killed on September 16, 2021, in a gang-related shooting in the Austin neighborhood. The shooting happened about 6:45 p.m. in an alley in the 600 block of North Central Avenue while Starks and another person were riding bikes through the alley.

The encounter escalated when Scarver allegedly punched Starks, retrieved a handgun from an SUV, and opened fire. Starks was hit three times; the companion escaped to a nearby youth center and summoned help. Investigators recovered 25 shell casings and Starks was transported to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Scarver was identified as the shooter after his mother gave a videotaped statement saying she saw her son fire multiple shots. He was charged with first-degree murder and held without bail. Did anyone in the Austin neighborhood see or hear anything that night that could shed more light on what happened?
