Michael Pipes, a 35-year-old African American man, was shot in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago on April 6, 2021. He and a 26-year-old man were both struck in a shooting that occurred in the early morning; both were taken to hospital and Pipes died a few days later.

Area Four detectives handled the investigation, canvassing the neighborhood and reviewing nearby surveillance footage. No suspects or arrests were publicly identified and detectives continued to seek witnesses and new leads. Pipes’ family and community organized vigils and rallies, and local leaders called for more resources to address gun violence and support at-risk youth.
