Rayshawn Williams, 23, was found unresponsive with gunshot wounds after his car struck two parked vehicles on West Maypole Avenue in Chicago’s West Garfield Park neighborhood on June 28, 2020. After exiting his vehicle he collapsed; the Cook County medical examiner pronounced him dead at about 11:30 p.m. on West Fulton Avenue. The medical examiner’s office reported a gunshot wound to his hip as the fatal injury.

The Chicago Police Department’s Area Four detectives opened a homicide investigation but reported few leads, with no witnesses coming forward and no arrests or publicly identified suspects as of the latest update. Family and community members described Williams as a loving, caring person; his death has been cited as part of the larger problem of gun violence affecting young people in the city.

Anyone with information about what happened that night is asked to contact the Area Four detectives handling the case.
