Fifteen-year-old Dajon Gator was killed on May 21, 2021, on the porch of his Lawndale home in Chicago. Two gunmen approached and fired, striking him in the head; he was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and died about three hours later. Two shell casings were recovered at the scene and police suggested the shooting might have been retaliation for an earlier altercation, but gave no further details and no arrests have been reported.

Dajon was a student in the after-school program Guitars over Guns and a talented rapper who came alive onstage despite a usually quiet demeanor. Mentors described him as sweet, gentle, and wise beyond his years; his death had a deep impact on family, friends, and the community.

What information do readers have that could help fill gaps in the timeline or identify the two shooters?
