Deandre Abrams, 26, was shot and killed on July 8, 2021, in the Wentworth Gardens housing complex on Chicago’s South Side. Around 2:15 p.m., Abrams and another man were standing outside a residence in the 3900 block of South Princeton Avenue when a vehicle pulled up and someone inside opened fire. Abrams was struck in the face and, according to one account, in the back; he was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and pronounced dead. A 35 year old man with a leg wound was taken to the same hospital in good condition.

Police said the gunman fired from the passing vehicle and fled. Area One detectives opened an investigation and no one was in custody in the immediate aftermath; authorities did not release a suspect description in early reports. The shooting intensified calls the following day for stronger security and surveillance at Wentworth Gardens.
