On February 25, 2020, 18-year-old nursing student Jaya Beemon was killed in a shooting at a food mart in the Avalon Park neighborhood of Chicago. Three people opened fire into the store on the 7900-block of South Avalon Avenue while aiming at an unarmed man; they missed that target and struck five bystanders. Jaya was shot in the neck and later died at the University of Chicago Hospital. Four other victims — an 18-year-old woman, a 17-year-old girl, and two men aged 19 and 63 — survived with gunshot wounds.

A 15-year-old boy was later arrested and charged with murder, attempted murder, and aggravated battery with a handgun. Surveillance video showed three suspects arriving in a Chrysler 300; the footage captured the 15-year-old’s face while the other two had masks. One surviving victim identified the boy by the nickname Little D. The two masked shooters have not been identified and remain at large.

Does anyone have information about the two remaining suspects or that February 2020 shooting?
