Vanisha M. Patrick, 33, was found dead inside a parked vehicle on January 4, 2021, in the 3600 block of West Polk Street in the Lawndale neighborhood. She sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene; the Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Police say Vanisha had been with several male acquaintances that evening when a white sport-utility vehicle pulled up and occupants opened fire at the group. The gunfire struck Vanisha and also damaged nearby vehicles and residential buildings. Area Four detectives in the Chicago Police Department are handling the homicide investigation.

No arrests or public identifications of suspects have been made and the case remains open. Can anyone who was in Lawndale on January 4, 2021, or who knows anything about the shooting contact detectives with information?
