Aaron Williams was 28 when he was shot and killed on August 13, 2020, inside a home in the 7500 block of South Chappel Avenue in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood. The shooting happened about 11:15 p.m. when a gunman approached the back of the house and fired through a kitchen window, striking Aaron in the chest and arm. He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and died shortly after.

Several people were in the home at the time; none of them were injured. No arrests have been announced and the Chicago Police Department has not said whether the shooting was gang-related or identified any suspects. Aaron’s widow, Asiah Carter, who was pregnant at the time and had been a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, has publicly pushed for an arrest and criticized the lack of cooperation from those who were present that night. She also noted the house had been the target of multiple prior shootings.

Aaron and Asiah had a one-year-old daughter at the time, who will grow up without her father. What can people who were in or near the house that night add to clarify what happened?
