Tavion Matthews, a 22-year-old African American man, was killed in an early-morning drive-by shooting on June 2, 2019, in Chicago. He and 25-year-old Marcus Walker Jr. were driving westbound in the 100 block of West North Avenue when another vehicle approached and opened fire. Matthews was struck multiple times in the back; both men were pronounced dead at the scene. The car they were in was found with more than a dozen bullet holes. The shooters fled north on LaSalle Drive.

The Chicago Police Department and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the double homicide. Investigators reviewed camera footage and canvassed the area, but there were no immediate arrests or suspects and no significant leads reported in the months after the shooting. Community members urged anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone has information about who was in the vehicle that fired on West North Avenue or saw activity on LaSalle Drive that morning, please share what you know with detectives.
