Damien Howard, a 21-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on May 4, 2020, in the Gresham neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting happened about 9:30 p.m. while Howard and another man were on the porch of a residence in the 8500 block of South Sangamon Street. An unknown assailant in a vehicle opened fire, striking Howard in the head and neck; he was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center.

The other man, 22, was grazed in the chest and survived. Area Two detectives are leading the investigation; no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced. Witnesses were scarce and the sudden nature of the attack has complicated the probe. Family, friends and community members have held vigils and events to honor Howard and to press for more attention to gun violence in Gresham.

Does anyone have information about that night on South Sangamon Street that could help detectives?
