Travis Bester, 28, was killed on December 23, 2019, in Chicago’s Roseland neighborhood. Officers responding to a ShotSpotter alert around 10:24 p.m. found Bester unresponsive in the 700 block of East 106th Street with multiple gunshot wounds to his chest. He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Area South detectives have conducted a homicide investigation, but no arrests have been made. Investigators report a lack of witnesses and leads, which has hindered progress. Bester’s death has had a profound impact on his family and the Roseland community and remains an open, active investigation.
