On the night of July 4, 2020, Cartrell Tate, 39, was standing outside in the 8300 block of South Kingston Avenue in Chicago’s South Chicago neighborhood with three other men when gunfire broke out. All four were struck; Tate suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The other victims — a 26-year-old shot in the shoulder, a 60-year-old wounded in the leg, and a 19-year-old hit in the leg — survived.

Tate’s death occurred during an especially violent Independence Day weekend in the city, when nearly 80 people were shot and 15 died over the holiday period. No arrests have been made and the Chicago Police Department has not identified any suspects or persons of interest in Tate’s killing. His family remains without answers.

If anyone has information about the shooting on South Kingston Avenue that night, please come forward to assist the investigation.
