Kijuan Burrage, a 24-year-old African American man, was shot and killed during a large gathering in the 2100 block of West Randolph Street in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood at about 2:25 a.m. on September 6, 2020. Burrage was struck in the shoulder and foot and later pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital; the Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Prosecutors say the violence began when two men fought over a woman and Burrage stepped in to try to de-escalate. According to court filings, an unidentified person and 32-year-old Jequan Scales opened fire; Burrage attempted to flee but was shot multiple times. Security camera footage reportedly captured Scales interacting with the other shooter before shots were fired. Scales was arrested the next day for unlawful use of a weapon, police matched the gun to shell casings from the scene, and he later admitted being there and possessing a gun.

Witnesses at the scene were initially uncooperative, which hampered the investigation until surveillance and forensic evidence were used to identify a suspect. Did anyone at the party or nearby see what happened that night or recognize the individuals on the footage?
