Deshawn McKinney, 32, was shot and killed on October 24, 2020, while sitting in the passenger seat of a 2016 black Chevrolet Equinox in the 11400 block of South Calumet Avenue in Chicago’s Roseland neighborhood. Someone in a passing vehicle opened fire, striking McKinney multiple times, including in the back of the head. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and pronounced dead; the Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide.

According to investigators, a woman had been driving the Equinox and was getting out when occupants of a southbound black Jeep SRT fired the fatal shots. The Jeep was described as having blacked-out wheels, tinted windows, and no front license plate; it was last seen fleeing the scene. Chicago police released a photo of the Jeep and issued a community alert.

Area Two detectives report the investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been announced. If anyone has information about that black Jeep SRT or the shooting, please share what is known with investigators.
