On June 16, 2020, 27-year-old Javell Brown was shot and killed on West 127th Street in Calumet Park, Illinois. Police say four people got out of a vehicle and opened fire as Brown tried to run; he was struck in the back. Brown’s family says he had a learning disability and believed he was not involved in gang activity, and they think he may have been mistaken for someone else.

Investigators report slow progress because witnesses at the scene have not cooperated. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been reported, and the Calumet Park Police Department continues to treat the case as a high priority while seeking tips and information.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about who was in the vehicle that night, please contact the investigators handling the case.
