Daveon Johnson was 19 when he was shot and killed on April 28, 2021, inside a parked vehicle in Chicago’s Gage Park neighborhood. Police say the shooting followed an altercation; the full details of that exchange have not been released. The vehicle involved was a stolen gray Honda with Florida plates.

The Chicago Police Department arrested two teenagers in connection with the case: a 17-year-old, Kashawn Purdue, who was charged as an adult with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder, and a 14-year-old whose name was not disclosed, charged with first-degree murder plus aggravated battery and discharge of a firearm. Authorities located the suspects near the 900-block of West Wilson Avenue and the 4600-block of North Sheridan Road in Uptown.

Daveon’s mother, Chevonna Myles, and grandmother, Sherry Wesley, spoke of relief at the arrests while still grieving his loss. Community tips reportedly helped lead investigators to the suspects. Does anyone have information about Daveon, the altercation that preceded the shooting, or the stolen Honda?
