Michael Reese was 17 when he was shot dead in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood on October 2, 2019. He was found late at night with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene after emergency responders arrived.

Investigators treated the killing as a targeted shooting. Witnesses reported hearing several gunshots and saw a vehicle speeding away. The Chicago Police Department canvassed the area and interviewed potential witnesses, but early progress was hampered by limited cooperation and a lack of clear leads.

Months after the killing police identified several persons of interest; one was a 19-year-old male said to have gang ties and was later arrested and charged with first-degree murder after forensic evidence tied him to the scene. The case brought intense attention from Michael’s family and the community, who have spoken out about gun violence and public safety.

Did anyone in Englewood around October 2, 2019 see or hear something that could help clarify what happened that night?
