Seventeen-year-old Lekeith Steel was shot and killed on June 26, 2019, in the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting happened about 5 p.m. while Lekeith was riding his bicycle on the sidewalk in the 3900 block of West Iowa Street. A red Hyundai SUV pulled up, two people got out, and one of them opened fire, striking Lekeith multiple times in the head and body. He was pronounced dead at the scene; the Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

Area North detectives with the Chicago Police Department have been investigating, but no arrests have been made and detectives report a lack of witnesses and concrete leads. Family, friends and community members have held vigils and memorials and have urged anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone saw activity in the 3900 block of West Iowa Street around 5 p.m. on June 26, 2019, or has information about the red Hyundai SUV or the people who exited it, please share what is known with investigators.
