Derek Teague, a 60-year-old African American man from Bronzeville, Chicago, was killed on July 17, 2020. The shooting happened in the Chatham neighborhood in the 8200 block of South Drexel Avenue. Teague and another man were inside a first-floor apartment when an assailant kicked in the door and opened fire; Teague was shot in the neck and pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy ruled his death a homicide.

A 23-year-old man who was with Teague was shot in the arm and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in fair condition. The shooting occurred hours after another violent incident on the same block in which a 14-year-old boy, a 21-year-old man, and a 27-year-old woman were shot. Area Two detectives are investigating Teague’s murder; no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced.

Did anyone in Bronzeville or Chatham see activity on South Drexel Avenue that evening or have information about who forced into that apartment?
