Investigators have cited a lack of eyewitnesses and limited physical evidence, which has impeded progress.

Rice’s death hit the tight-knit North Lawndale community hard and renewed calls from local leaders for stronger efforts to address gun violence and neighborhood safety. The case remains open; anyone with information is asked to contact investigators.
