Jonathan Washington, a 29-year-old African American man, was shot to death in Chicago on August 29, 2019. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds after a violent confrontation earlier that evening. Investigators concluded the shooting stemmed from a confrontation between two groups; the people who carried out the attack later said they had targeted the wrong person and mistakenly believed Washington was a member of a rival group.

Several suspects were arrested in connection with the killing. Jaquan Washington pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and received a 13-year sentence. Menelik Jackson was convicted at trial of murder and related charges and sentenced to 65 years. Jovan Battle, who was accused of directing the shooters to Washington’s location, also received a 65-year sentence.

The case drew attention for the role of mistaken identity and for the broader problem of gun violence in the city. Does anyone have information about Jonathan, where he spent time that night, or the events leading up to the confrontation?
