Martell Thomas, a 30-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on July 6, 2020, in Chicago’s North Lawndale neighborhood. The shooting occurred about 11:10 p.m. in the 3600 block of West Douglas Boulevard. Officers found Thomas unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital in critical condition and died shortly after arrival. The Cook County medical examiner later confirmed his identity.

Two other people were wounded in the same incident. A 27-year-old woman suffered a gunshot to the head and was reported in serious condition; a 24-year-old man was shot in the left shoulder and listed in good condition. Both walked into Mt. Sinai for treatment but reportedly refused to cooperate with police, and there are no arrests or identified suspects. The investigation remains open.

If anyone has information about the shooting or saw activity in the 3600 block of West Douglas Boulevard that night, please come forward.
