Dieon Delay, a 22-year-old African American man who lived in south suburban Harvey, was fatally shot in the early hours of August 10, 2020, in Chicago’s Grand Crossing neighborhood. The shooting happened around 3 a.m. in the 7700 block of South Ingleside Avenue. Delay sustained a gunshot wound to the chest and was able to get himself to Jackson Park Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Cook County medical examiner later identified him.

Area Two detectives are investigating and as of the latest reports no arrests or suspects have been announced. Delay’s death was the only fatality among five shooting incidents across the city that day.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact investigators.
