Deonte Fontaine Brewer, 29, was fatally shot in the forehead on June 29, 2021, inside a building in Chicago’s Marquette Park neighborhood. The shooting followed an illegal eviction from that building, where Brewer’s uncle was the landlord; locks were changed and power was cut without the required paperwork. Brewer had been staying in a basement unit with his girlfriend and went upstairs to investigate noises after texting his uncle that someone was returning.

Surveillance footage shows the suspect, 16-year-old Deandre Rounds, approach the building with a firearm and fire three shots through a front window, one striking Brewer. Matching shell casings were recovered at the scene. Rounds was apprehended and charged as an adult with first-degree murder; bail was set at $4 million and prosecutors have emphasized the surveillance footage and physical evidence in their case.

Who in Marquette Park might have seen the events that night or has information about the illegal eviction and those who approached the building?
