Toby Shermaine Boens Jr., 22, was fatally shot on the evening of June 21, 2020, on the 800 block of North Springfield Avenue in Chicago’s East Garfield Park neighborhood. Known as Tweet to family and friends, he was pronounced dead at the scene around 7:30 p.m. A 34-year-old man was critically injured in the same shooting and taken to Stroger Hospital.

Investigators recovered ten fired shell casings and private surveillance footage of the incident. Police identified 24-year-old Anthony Neal of Marquette Park through a Facebook account and arrested him on December 23, 2020. Neal was charged with felony first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder and was held without bail as the case moved through court.

Toby’s family remembered him for his love of outdoor activities and the video game Mortal Kombat. Does anyone who knew Toby or who was in East Garfield Park that evening have information that could help the case?
