John W. Blackman, a 38-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on July 19, 2021, in West Town, Chicago. He was standing on the sidewalk in the 100 block of North Morgan Street just after 1 a.m. when someone in a silver sedan fired multiple rounds. Blackman sustained several gunshot wounds and was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Accounts say more than 40 shots were fired from the silver sedan, and numerous shell casings were recovered at the scene, leading investigators to consider the possibility of multiple gunmen. No arrests have been reported and the suspects remain at large. Blackman was a father of two daughters, aged 17 and 13, and worked as an electrical apprentice; he was known for mentoring youth and steering kids away from gang involvement.
