Amontay M. Benson, a 21-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on October 10, 2020, in Chicago’s West Garfield Park neighborhood. He was in a car on the 100 block of South Keeler Avenue with three other people when an unknown assailant fired into their vehicle. The group drove on until they crashed into a Chicago Fire Department vehicle on the 500 block of South Pulaski Road.

Benson suffered gunshot wounds to his back and forearm and was pronounced dead at Mount Sinai Hospital. A 17-year-old girl and a 19-year-old man were also shot in the back and taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition; a 34-year-old man was critically wounded at Mount Sinai after multiple gunshot injuries. Area Four detectives are handling the investigation; no arrests have been announced and the shooter remains unidentified.

This killing is described as part of ongoing gun violence in West Garfield Park. Who in the neighborhood might have seen the car or the shooter that night, or who has information that could help detectives?
