Deon Alberto Nelson, 21, was shot the night of August 4, 2019, in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood and died shortly afterward. He and a 21-year-old woman were sitting in a parked car at a gas station in the 5600 block of West Bloomingdale Avenue around 10:13 p.m. when two men walked up and opened fire. The woman sustained grazing wounds to her arm and leg; Deon was taken to Stroger Hospital and pronounced dead about two hours later. An autopsy cited multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death.

Police described the shooting as an ambush-style attack. Prosecutors later charged two 20-year-old men, Romeo Langston and Jahuan Smith, with first-degree murder on July 11, 2020; a judge denied bail for both. Charging documents say the couple had planned to meet Langston near North Lockwood and West Wabansia avenues, that Smith approached during the meetup, and that after the pair drove to a gas station and pulled away the suspects allegedly ran up and fired while Deon began a Facebook Live stream. Investigators recovered shell casings, surveillance video and cellphone location records, and the woman identified both men in photos.

Does anyone have additional information about Deon, the people he was with that night, or the lead-up to the meetup?
