Tramen Starnes, a 22-year-old African American man, was shot to death on March 1, 2020, in Bronzeville on Chicago’s South Side. The shooting happened about 4:55 p.m. in the 4700 block of South Evans Avenue while Starnes was outside a home. Three males reportedly approached and opened fire, striking him multiple times in the chest. He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and pronounced dead shortly after.

Area Central detectives handled the investigation. In December 2020, an 18-year-old named Nathaniel Boyce was arrested in the South Shore neighborhood and charged with one count of first-degree murder in connection with the fatal shooting.
