Gregory Crawford, a 35-year-old African American man from Maywood, Illinois, was shot and killed in Chicago’s Loop on July 19, 2020. The shooting happened about 2:35 a.m. while Crawford was a passenger in a gray Honda traveling north in the 300 block of North Wabash Avenue. A confrontation on the bridge over the Chicago River escalated when a man in the street began shooting toward a group on the east side of the bridge; Crawford was struck in the neck and died, and the woman with him suffered serious injuries, being shot in both arms.

Prosecutors later identified 23-year-old Deandre Lewis as a key suspect, saying he instigated the fight that led to the shooting and urged two armed members of his group to open fire. Lewis was arrested in Rockford and charged with first-degree murder; he was also wanted on a Winnebago County warrant for aggravated domestic battery. Another man, Gregory Charles, was charged in January and is being held without bail.

Does anyone have information about the events on the bridge or the people involved that could help clarify what happened that night?
