Willie Washington was 18 when he was killed on August 12, 2019, in Chicago. The shooting happened about 8:30 a.m. while he was standing at a bus stop at 79th Street and Phillips Avenue. Two males left a vehicle and shot him multiple times; he sustained gunshot wounds to the back of his head and other parts of his body and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival at the University of Chicago Medical Center. The Cook County medical examiner’s office ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators say the attack was random. A 17-year-old, identified as Cinque Dunn, was charged with first-degree murder; prosecutors allege Dunn and an uncharged accomplice were driving around looking for someone to shoot, that Dunn fired several shots causing Washington to fall, and the accomplice then shot him in the head multiple times before both fled. A witness who had been driving the suspects described their plan to just shoot anyone they saw, and another witness saw the shooting but could not identify the shooters. Dunn was on probation for a prior unlawful use of a weapon charge and was held on $500,000 bail; an arrest warrant for the second shooter had been issued but not executed.

Did anyone who knew Willie or witnessed the events that morning see something that could help the investigation?
