Sharemaine Pinnicks, 27, was shot and killed on July 18, 2019, while sitting on a porch in the 3400 block of West Fulton Street in the Garfield Park neighborhood on Chicago’s West Side. Three others on the porch were also struck and survived with injuries of varying severity; Pinnicks was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police described the shooting as one of several incidents tied to persistent gun violence in Garfield Park. Investigators opened a homicide probe but, as of the latest information, no arrests had been announced. Reports say a lack of willing witnesses and community mistrust have hampered progress in identifying those responsible.

Pinnicks’ death has been cited by local advocates and leaders as emblematic of broader neighborhood challenges and the need for community-based responses to violence. Does anyone who knew Sharemaine or who was in that area on July 18, 2019, have information that could help the investigation?
