Octavius Mitchell, 38, of West Englewood, was fatally shot on April 4, 2021, while stopped in the middle of the street in the 11500 block of South LaSalle Street in the West Pullman neighborhood on Chicago’s Far South Side. Around 2:15 p.m. a man approached Mitchell’s vehicle, spoke with him briefly, then fired shots that struck Mitchell in the neck; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

No arrests have been announced and investigators have not released information about suspects. Mitchell’s death is cited as part of the broader pattern of gun violence affecting neighborhoods such as West Pullman and West Englewood.

Does anyone in the area have information about that afternoon on April 4, 2021, or recall seeing a vehicle or person in the 11500 block of South LaSalle Street then?
