Raekwon Stafford, 23, was killed on October 13, 2020, in the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago. The bullet that struck Stafford passed through his body and also critically wounded his sister, who was taken to Stroger Hospital with a bullet lodged in her chest.

The shooter has been identified as 21-year-old James Murphy. He was arrested and charged with one count of first-degree murder and five counts of attempted murder. Court records cited conflicts involving Murphy and his ex-girlfriend, who was one of Stafford’s siblings. On the day of the shooting, Murphy’s child’s mother allegedly confronted Stafford and his siblings; Murphy reportedly fired a single round from a stolen red Chevrolet Cobalt, then attempted to fire again before his gun jammed and he fled. He was denied bail.

Stafford’s death and his sister’s critical injury deeply affected their family and community. Does anyone have information about the incident or knew the family that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
