Frank Williams, an 18-year-old African American man from Chicago, was killed on September 7, 2020. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds late at night in a neighborhood described as having high crime rates and was pronounced dead at the scene despite emergency responders’ efforts.

Investigators concluded this was a targeted shooting. Witnesses reported hearing several shots and seeing a vehicle speed away. The Chicago Police Department canvassed the area, interviewed potential witnesses, and reviewed nearby surveillance footage that reportedly showed a suspect fleeing the scene.

In the weeks after the shooting, police identified and arrested a 20-year-old man alleged to have gang ties; he was charged with first-degree murder. Prosecutors introduced ballistic analysis and eyewitness testimony at trial while the defense disputed the evidence as circumstantial. The victim’s mother spoke about his college plans and ambitions.

Did anyone in the community see or hear anything on the night of September 7, 2020 that could still help clarify what happened?
