Jemel Murphy, a 22-year-old African American man, was killed in a drive-by shooting on May 6, 2020, in Rogers Park, Chicago. The shooting occurred around 4 p.m. in the 1600 block of West Jonquil Terrace while Jemel stood on the sidewalk with several others. A dark-colored Jeep Cherokee pulled up and the front seat passenger opened fire. Jemel was struck multiple times, taken to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, and later died of his injuries.

Investigators tied the shooting to an earlier confrontation near the Howard CTA station that same day. Prosecutors say the shooter had argued with a person who was with Jemel, was punched, retrieved a crowbar from his Jeep, briefly left the scene and then returned about 40 minutes later to shoot at the group. The person involved in the earlier fight identified the shooter. Cellphone location data, surveillance footage and a license plate reader were reported to place the Jeep and its driver at the shooting scene.

Does anyone have information about Jemel’s day in Rogers Park or the people who were with him that afternoon?
