Alex Clark, a 21-year-old African American man who lived in Englewood, was fatally shot on June 3, 2020, in the Gresham neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. He was standing on the sidewalk in the 7600 block of South Union Avenue at about 8:35 p.m. when an assailant exited a dark-colored vehicle and opened fire. Clark was taken to the University of Chicago Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival; the Cook County medical examiner confirmed his identity and manner of death.

Investigators have cited a lack of witnesses and the swift nature of the attack as obstacles. Community leaders have pushed for increased police presence and engagement in Gresham to address ongoing gun violence.

If anyone was in the 7600 block of South Union Avenue on the evening of June 3, 2020, or has information about a dark-colored vehicle seen near that location, please come forward to assist the investigation.
