Seventeen-year-old Dalon Russell, an African American male, was shot and killed on September 30, 2020, in the 200 block of North Central Avenue in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago. Court records say Dalon was with a woman who jumped out of the way and avoided being hit; the shooter used a real gun and fatally struck Dalon. The attack is described in court filings as targeted rather than random.

Nineteen-year-old Jazon Stewart-Overall was identified as the shooter. Records note he had been released on his own recognizance after July 2020 charges for two felony narcotics counts and carrying a BB gun. After the September shooting he was charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder and was being held without bail. The case has prompted debate in the community about pretrial release policies and calls for changes to reduce repeat violent offending.

If anyone knew Dalon, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
