Johnny Parris, 23, was fatally shot on August 3, 2019, in West Garfield Park, Chicago. The shooting occurred about 2:25 a.m. on the 4600 block of West Monroe Street while Parris sat in a vehicle; he was struck in the chest, taken to Stroger Hospital and later pronounced dead. The Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide from a gunshot wound to the flank.

A 28-year-old man who had been standing next to Parris was wounded in the leg and hospitalized with his condition stabilized. Detectives recovered nine shell casings at the scene and reviewed police POD camera footage showing a silver Dodge pickup. Investigators say the pickup nearly struck a 29-year-old transgender woman who had been leaning on the car’s hood; she was injured in the thigh. She later identified 43-year-old Kortney Darby in a photo array, and police linked the pickup to Darby. Darby was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder; he was held without bail pending trial.

Does anyone have information about the car, the shooting that night, or the people involved that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
