Samuel Katherine Jr. was 32 when he was shot and killed on April 28, 2020, in Chicago’s Gresham neighborhood. The shooting happened about 8:20 p.m. while he was on the porch of a home in the 8300 block of South Paulina Street. Authorities say someone in a light-colored vehicle approached and opened fire, striking Samuel in the abdomen. He was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he died; the Cook County medical examiner attributed his death to multiple gunshot wounds.

Area South detectives classified the case as a homicide. No arrests have been made and the shooter’s identity remains unknown. Family, friends and neighbors have held vigils and meetings, calling for justice and for steps to reduce gun violence in the community.

Does anyone who lived in or near the 8300 block of South Paulina Street in April 2020 have information that could help investigators?
