Johnathan Jackson, a 28-year-old African American man, was killed on September 11, 2019, in the Lawndale neighborhood on Chicago’s West Side. He was getting into a silver van with his girlfriend and family when a blue sedan pulled up, a ski-masked gunman exited and fired through the driver’s side window, striking Jackson. He was taken to Stroger Hospital and pronounced dead at 9:32 p.m. The pavement near the van was described as covered in blood and family members were visibly distraught.

Investigators say the shooter targeted Jackson specifically. Multiple witnesses saw the blue sedan and masked shooter, and forensic evidence was collected, but the case remains unsolved and no arrests have been announced. Police report many interviews and leads were pursued, while witness reluctance and fear of retaliation have hindered progress. Jackson’s family has taken part in vigils and urged anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone saw the blue sedan, the masked gunman, or the moments around the shooting, please share what was seen with investigators.
