Tavaris Trimble, a 26-year-old African American man from Dolton, Illinois, was found dead on June 29, 2019, in the East Garfield Park neighborhood of Chicago. Residents near the 3200 block of West Huron Street reported hearing gunfire about 5:33 a.m. and discovered Trimble unresponsive in a gangway. He had sustained three gunshot wounds and a weapon was found near his body. The Cook County medical examiner identified him and pronounced him dead at the scene; an autopsy later confirmed multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death.

Area Central detectives investigated the killing. Despite recovery of a weapon at the scene, reporting does not provide clear details about suspects or arrests, and the case remained open with investigators seeking public leads. Trimble’s death was one of four fatalities among 26 shooting incidents across Chicago that day.

If anyone has information about Trimble, his whereabouts before the shooting, or that morning on West Huron Street, please come forward to investigators.
