Tacarrene B. Scott, a 37-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on October 9, 2020, in the Roseland neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting happened about 11:30 p.m. on the 10800 block of South Calumet Avenue while Scott was standing on the street with two other people. He was struck in the head and abdomen and was pronounced dead at the scene; the Cook County medical examiner ruled his death a homicide.

Two other victims survived: a 33-year-old woman shot in the abdomen and taken to Christ Medical Center in serious condition, and a 37-year-old man hit in the left leg and taken to the same hospital in good condition. Area Two detectives were assigned to the investigation, but no arrests or named suspects had been reported and the case remained open as detectives sought leads.

Scott’s killing occurred during a weekend surge of gun violence in Chicago from October 9 to October 12, 2020, when 53 people were shot citywide and five died. If anyone has information about the October 9 shooting on South Calumet Avenue, please come forward to assist investigators.
