Kentray Young, 26, known as rapper Tray Savage, was shot and killed on the morning of June 19, 2020, on the 8100 block of South Evans Avenue in Chicago’s Chatham neighborhood. According to witnesses, Young had just dropped off his girlfriend and was driving a blue 2019 Hyundai Kona when a white SUV, possibly a Mazda, pulled into his path. A man exited the SUV and fired into the driver’s side, striking Young in the neck and shoulder. The Kona crashed into three vehicles; bystanders and his girlfriend pulled him from the wreck. He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and later pronounced dead; the Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide by gunshot wounds.

Investigators focused on surveillance video showing a man with a distinctive limp before and after the shooting and later identified Demitri Jackson as a suspect. Jackson was arrested in Fort Worth, Texas, extradited to Cook County, and detained without bail after prosecutors described how the SUV blocked Young’s vehicle before the shooting. In 2025 Jackson pleaded guilty to one count of murder and received a 29-year sentence to be served in full. Did anyone in Chatham or the South Side recognize the white SUV or the man with the limp around that June morning?
