Henry Daniels, a 52-year-old African American man from Chicago, was shot and killed on June 28, 2019, in the East Garfield Park neighborhood. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the leg, abdomen and back and was taken to Norwegian American Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Daniels was known locally for his work steering neighborhood kids away from guns and gangs, often speaking with young people about resolving disputes without violence. His killing removed a visible mentor and positive influence from the community.

No arrests have been announced and the Chicago Police Department’s investigation remains open. Who in East Garfield Park might have seen something that night or knew about anyone targeting Daniels?
