On the afternoon of August 16, 2021, in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood, 26-year-old Javunte Squeak Wheeler pulled up to his grandmother’s home on the 5000 block of West St. Paul Avenue and stepped out to speak with his uncle, 27-year-old Darion Hood. A Ring doorbell camera captured a passenger in Wheeler’s car opening fire; both men suffered gunshot wounds to the head. Police and medics arrived just after 12:30 p.m. and rushed both victims to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead, according to initial reports and the Cook County medical examiner.

Wheeler was a producer and DJ with the West Side hip-hop collective Pivot Gang, and tributes from the music community followed. Few public updates have identified a suspect.

If anyone saw the car or the passenger that day, or has other information about the shooting, please share what is known with investigators.
