Fifteen-year-old Marlin Gaines was shot and killed on February 2, 2020, in the 5600 block of South Marshfield Avenue in the West Englewood neighborhood of Chicago. He was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital and pronounced dead.

Police identified Damian Day Day Coleman as the person responsible for the shooting. Coleman was on electronic monitoring for a pending gun case at the time; he was arrested ten days after the killing and officers recovered a firearm. Marlin’s grandfather said Marlin did not deserve to be shot seven times, and the community mourned the loss of a young life.

Did anyone in West Englewood see activity around South Marshfield Avenue on February 2, 2020, that could help piece together what happened?
