Jerry McGhee, a 64-year-old African American man, was shot in the head during a domestic altercation in the 10500 block of South Perry Avenue in Chicago’s Roseland neighborhood on June 19, 2021. A 58-year-old man was also struck in the shoulder that day and taken to hospital; he was stabilized. McGhee later died of complications from the head wound on October 18, 2021, and the Cook County medical examiner ruled his death a homicide.

Investigators say an unknown assailant opened fire during the dispute. No arrests have been announced and the case remains open; detectives continue to seek information while investigators note a lack of witnesses and reluctance among community members to come forward. McGhee’s family and friends have held vigils and meetings calling for justice and greater efforts to address gun violence on the South Side.
