Mekhi James was 3 years old when he was fatally shot on June 20, 2020, in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side. The shooting happened around 6:30 p.m. while Mekhi was riding in a car with his stepfather after they had gotten haircuts. A blue Honda SUV pulled alongside their vehicle and opened fire. Mekhi was struck in the back and later pronounced dead at the hospital; his stepfather sustained a graze wound to the abdomen.

Authorities believe the attack was aimed at the stepfather rather than Mekhi. Mekhi’s mother Myesha James and grandmother Yvette James described him as a beautiful, well-mannered boy who made people laugh. Community leaders and faith organizations together offered a reward for information that grew from $4,500 to $13,000. No suspects have been identified and the investigation remains ongoing.

Did anyone in the Austin neighborhood on June 20, 2020, see the blue Honda SUV or other details that could help investigators?
