Delphine Shields, a 49-year-old African American woman, was fatally wounded in a shooting in Chicago’s West Woodlawn neighborhood. On the night of August 9, 2021, gunfire erupted inside an apartment building on the 6200 block of South Rhodes Avenue. Shields was outside on the building’s steps when she was struck in the torso. She was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and died on August 14, 2021, from complications of the gunshot wounds.

Two other people were shot in the same incident: a 17-year-old boy in the hallway who suffered serious injuries, and a 55-year-old man inside the apartment who was shot in the leg. The Chicago Police Department has been investigating, but no arrests or suspects have been identified and the circumstances around why the shooting occurred remain unclear.

Did anyone in West Woodlawn see or hear anything that night that could help investigators?
