Alante Hands, a 27-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on December 31, 2020, in the Austin neighborhood on Chicago’s West Side. The shooting occurred about 12:35 a.m. while Hands stood outside in the 5900 block of West Rice Street. He suffered gunshot wounds to his arm, chest, and leg and was taken to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival; the Cook County medical examiner’s office confirmed those injuries and his death.

Chicago police say witnesses to the shooting have not been cooperating, which has hindered the investigation. As of the latest updates, no arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified. Area Four detectives continue to investigate, but the circumstances leading up to the shooting have not been disclosed.
