Darrion Thompson was an 18-year-old African American male from Chicago who was shot and killed on July 27, 2019. He was standing outside with friends in the Englewood neighborhood when a drive-by shooting struck him; he was shot multiple times and died at the scene despite emergency response. Reports indicate the shooting was likely gang-related, though Darrion was not known to be involved in gang activity.

The Chicago Police Department investigated, interviewing witnesses and reviewing surveillance footage. Investigators reported difficulty with witness cooperation, a barrier often encountered in cases described as gang-related. Police later identified several suspects and announced the arrest of a 24-year-old African American male who was charged with first-degree murder.

Anyone who knew Darrion, witnessed the shooting, or has information about the events on July 27, 2019, in Englewood is asked to come forward.
