Shannon Newsome, a 21-year-old African American man, was shot and killed in Maywood, Illinois, on December 15, 2019. Officers answered a call about a shooting around 5 a.m. in the 1400 block of 6th Avenue and found Newsome with a gunshot wound to his chest. He was taken to Loyola University Medical Center, where he died; the Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide from the gunshot wound.

Investigators identified a suspect in the months that followed. On October 8, 2020, police arrested 24-year-old Michael Evans and charged him with first-degree murder in the case. The matter proceeded through initial court hearings, including a bail hearing for Evans.

What information do readers in Maywood have about that early-morning shooting or about Shannon’s movements that night?
