On April 1, 2019, 18-year-old Gwaine Brown was fatally shot in the Lawndale neighborhood on Chicago’s West Side. Brown and 29-year-old Calvin Choice were standing outside a store in the 700 block of South Cicero Avenue at about 8:15 p.m. when a gunman approached and opened fire. Brown was struck in the chest and leg; Choice was hit multiple times in the chest. Both were taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Brown was a high school sophomore at Dr. Pedro Albizu Campos Puerto Rican High School and was remembered by friends and family for a lively personality. A candlelight vigil attended by about 150 people, including his mother and basketball teammates, followed the killings. Area North detectives with the Chicago Police Department are conducting a homicide investigation; as of the latest reports no arrests have been made and the shooter remains at large.

Are there readers who knew Gwaine or have information about the shooting who can help investigators?
