Charles Riley was 16 and from Chicago when he was shot and killed on June 20, 2020, in the South Shore neighborhood. He and a friend, 17-year-old Jasean Francis, were buying candy when they encountered 19-year-old Laroy Battle inside a store. After leaving, the two boys were followed; Battle opened fire. Charles was shot in the back and left leg and later died at the University of Chicago Hospital. Jasean was shot in the back, chest, and left hand and also died at the hospital.

Surveillance footage reportedly showed Battle discarding a gun in a trash can, and he was arrested at a motel in Schiller Park. He was charged with two counts of first-degree murder. A prayer vigil was held for the victims.

What information do readers in South Shore or anyone who knew Charles or Jasean have that could help the ongoing case?
