Tevin Watkins, 26, of East Hazel Crest, Illinois, was shot to death on July 31, 2020, in broad daylight in Sauk Village. The shooting occurred around 1:30 p.m. in the 1700 block of 223rd Street; Watkins was struck multiple times and died shortly after the attack. The Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Authorities later arrested a 17-year-old male from Richton Park in Chicago and charged him with first-degree murder, attempted murder and unlawful use of a weapon. Police said the teen allegedly shot Watkins multiple times at the rear of a residence and fled with at least one other person. During that arrest, 26-year-old Tryzell Batie of Park Forest was also taken into custody and charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon; police did not confirm Batie’s involvement in the shooting. The motive for the attack was not known.

Does anyone have information about Watkins, his movements that afternoon, or the people seen near the rear of that residence?
