Crystal Crockett, 21, was shot and killed on June 15, 2021, in the Bronzeville neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. A nursing student at Malcolm X College and a mother of newborn twin girls Iyla and Italy, Crystal had recently given birth; the twins were still in the NICU at Rush University Medical Center when she died. Family described her as a loving, dedicated mother who was excited about her nursing career.

Surveillance footage shows Crystal riding in the passenger seat of a vehicle driven by 31-year-old Elijah Clippard on the morning of June 15. The car was parked in an empty lot behind an apartment complex where Clippard lived; he left the vehicle with a firearm, appeared agitated, and shot Crystal multiple times. Witnesses reported hearing shots and found her lying in an alley; she was pronounced dead at the scene. Clippard was later seen on CTA surveillance and was arrested at the Eden Green housing development on the Far South Side and charged with first-degree murder. Prosecutors say Crystal had expressed fear of Clippard and been advised by family to leave him.

Does anyone have information about Crystal’s routines, who she spent time with in Bronzeville, or the days leading up to June 15, 2021?
