On June 22, 2020, 27-year-old Jasmine Neal was shot and killed in Chicago’s Gresham neighborhood during a domestic-related attack that also left her mother, Frances Neal, dead at the scene. Jasmine, her mother, and her sister, Shonta Harris, had been confronted by 25-year-old John Matthews after an argument that began when Harris declined to cook breakfast and braid his hair. Matthews first assaulted Harris; when family members arrived he shot Frances Neal, then shot Harris and Jasmine. Witnesses say Jasmine ran into the street with her hands up before Matthews chased her and shot her in the head.

Shonta Harris initially survived but later died from complications of her gunshot wounds. Matthews fled, was apprehended in Iowa after a car accident, and was returned to Illinois to face criminal charges. During a bail hearing a relative who witnessed the attack identified Matthews as the shooter; he was held without bail. Who in the neighborhood might have seen the events that morning or has information about what led to the confrontation?
