Jim Courtney-Clarks, a 20-year-old African American man, was shot and killed in East Garfield Park, Chicago, on December 22, 2020, around 12:45 p.m. The shooting happened on the 700 block of North Ridgeway Avenue; Jim was struck in the chest and later died at Stroger Hospital. He and another person were walking on the sidewalk when two gunmen opened fire in what investigators described as a gang-related attack.

Two suspects were later charged in connection with the killing. Jerryyon Stevens, 21, was charged in June 2021 and was accused of driving a stolen Honda to the scene; surveillance footage and cellphone records reportedly placed him with the gunmen before the shooting, and an officer who reviewed the video identified him. Rayvon Lofton, 19, was arrested on September 9, 2021, in the Loop and charged with murder; he was denied bail at his initial hearing.

Does anyone have information about Jim’s movements that day or about activity around North Ridgeway Avenue that could help investigators?
