Jaykuan Rogers was 15 when he was killed on July 22, 2019, in the Roseland neighborhood of Chicago. About 9 p.m., Jaykuan and two others were riding in a stolen white Jeep on the 11400 block of South Lowe Avenue when a gunman in a passing white pickup truck opened fire. Jaykuan was struck multiple times in the head and later died at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn; a 20-year-old passenger was shot in the back and listed in critical condition.

A 17-year-old boy who had been in the stolen vehicle was taken in for questioning. The Cook County medical examiner ruled the cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds to the head. Area South detectives canvassed the neighborhood and reviewed security camera footage, but no arrests had been announced and no suspects were in custody.

Jaykuan’s family and community remain in mourning after a night that included several shootings across the city. If anyone witnessed the shooting on South Lowe Avenue that night or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
