Shamari K. Smith, 27, was shot and killed on July 13, 2020, in the Park Manor neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting occurred about 1:45 a.m. while Shamari was on the street in the 6700 block of South Rhodes Avenue; someone fired shots from a vehicle and he was struck in the head. He was pronounced dead at the University of Chicago Medical Center shortly afterward.

Shamari lived in Park Manor and had joined the Inner-City Muslim Action Network’s Green Re-Entry program in November 2019 after a release from prison. He was described as having a positive attitude and determination to improve his life. He is survived by five children, including an infant. No arrests have been announced and Area One detectives are investigating. The neighborhood was mourning one of many shootings that weekend, and a GoFundMe was set up to help the family with funeral expenses and support for the children.

Did anyone in Park Manor see activity on South Rhodes Avenue around 1:45 a.m. on July 13, 2020 that could help investigators?
