Andrew Whittaker, a 25-year-old African American man, was killed on May 9, 2019, in Chicago, Illinois. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds in a neighborhood described as having high crime rates. Initial accounts described the shooting as possibly gang-related and suggested he may have been an unintended target in a drive-by shooting, though no definitive motive was immediately clear.

Witness statements conflicted at the scene, complicating the investigation. The Chicago Police Department identified several suspects through forensic evidence and witness testimony; known gang members were among those named. Arrests were made and suspects were charged with first-degree murder, and the legal proceedings ended with convictions of the primary suspects. Andrew’s family attended hearings and worked with community groups to raise awareness about the effects of gang violence.

Does anyone have information about Andrew, his routine that day, or the neighborhood where this happened?
