Shianne Reynolds was 20 when she was fatally shot on April 19, 2020, in the Grand Crossing neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. The shooting happened around 4:25 p.m. while she was a passenger in a Ford with two other males. A dark-colored car sped up behind them and someone inside opened fire, striking Shianne in the head. The driver managed to get the vehicle to the 6800 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue, where paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene. The Cook County medical examiner later confirmed her identity and ruled the death a homicide.

Area South detectives are handling the investigation. No arrests have been announced and the case remains open as detectives seek information to identify and apprehend the suspects.
