Jawaun Davis, a 21-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on March 24, 2021, outside the Illinois Secretary of State facility on West 87th Street in Bridgeview, Illinois. He was standing in line to enter the facility when two individuals ambushed the crowd and opened fire, striking Davis multiple times. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and died later that day.

Authorities identified two suspects, Matthew Givens, 23, of Lansing, and Cortez Hudson, 24, of Oak Park. Police say the men were members of a street gang who targeted Davis because of his affiliation with a rival gang. The attackers fled in a vehicle, abandoned it, then attempted to carjack a Tesla but were unable to start it; officers caught up and arrested them. Both were charged with first-degree murder and attempted vehicular hijacking and were denied bail.

The case has drawn attention for the brazen, gang-related nature of the attack. Did anyone in the Bridgeview area see the incident or know Jawaun Davis’ routines or associates?
