Nautica Thompson, a 23-year-old African American man, was killed during a backyard party in the Austin neighborhood on Chicago’s West Side on August 1, 2020. At about 12:37 a.m. gunfire erupted; Thompson was shot multiple times, taken to West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, and pronounced dead. An autopsy ruled his death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

The shooting wounded four others: a 32-year-old man shot in the left thigh, an 18-year-old man hit in the left forearm and abdomen, an 18-year-old woman shot three times in the buttocks, and a 28-year-old woman struck in the left leg. All were taken to nearby hospitals and reported in good condition. Officers responding heard the shots and detained two males trying to flee. One detainee, 25-year-old Latraye Williams, was charged with two felony counts of aggravated assault to a peace officer for allegedly pointing a gun at officers during his escape and held without bail; other charges were pending for the second individual as investigators continued to seek motive and any additional suspects.

Did anyone at the party or in the neighborhood see something that could help identify who fired the shots?
