Jhanari Robinson was 19 when he was fatally shot on April 8, 2019, in the 6500 block of South Oakley in Chicago. Known as Nari, he was standing with a 22-year-old man when a dark-colored vehicle drove by and someone inside fired. Robinson was struck in the head and died at the scene; the other man suffered an abdominal gunshot wound and was treated at the University of Chicago Medical Center.

The killing occurred amid a surge of violence in West Englewood. Just days earlier, six people, including two children, had been shot at a baby shower a few blocks away, deepening community concern. Area Central detectives from the Chicago Police Department are investigating Robinson’s homicide, but no arrests have been announced.

Robinson’s family and friends remember him as a young man with a bright future. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
