Anthony Maggette, 53, was shot and killed on June 19, 2020, in the Grand Crossing neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting happened about 3:25 a.m. in the 900 block of East 79th Street while Maggette was standing on a sidewalk with two other people. He was struck multiple times and later died at a nearby hospital; the Cook County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

A 45-year-old woman was shot in the ankle and a 43-year-old man was shot in the abdomen; both survived and were treated at hospitals. Police arrested 20-year-old Daevon Brownlee of Kenwood and charged him with first-degree murder, three counts of attempted murder, and three counts of aggravated battery with a firearm. Brownlee was ordered held without bail at a court appearance. He had a prior sentence of one year in prison in December 2019 for unauthorized use of a weapon and was released on time served.

Are there witnesses or local readers who saw activity in the 900 block of East 79th Street on the morning of June 19, 2020, or who have information about this shooting?
