Jojuan Black, a 23-year-old African American man and Park Manor resident, was shot and killed on February 24, 2021 in the Washington Park neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. The shooting happened about 10:30 p.m. in the 5100 block of South Prairie Avenue. Black was standing outside a vehicle talking with two men who were seated inside when shots were fired; he was struck twice in the head and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

The two men in the car, ages 36 and 49, were also wounded — the 36-year-old was shot in the left thigh and right shoulder, and the 49-year-old sustained a gunshot wound to his leg. Their vehicle fled the scene and all three were treated at the same hospital. Area One detectives from the Chicago Police Department are investigating; no arrests have been announced and police have not released suspect or motive details.

What information can readers share about that block of South Prairie Avenue or anyone who might have seen the shooting that night?
