Jamonty Clifton was 15 when he was shot and killed on March 28, 2019, in Chicago. He was walking near 79th Street and Colfax Avenue when an argument occurred with someone in a gray sedan. The suspect got out of the vehicle and shot Jamonty multiple times, striking his face, leg, and shoulder. He was pronounced dead at the University of Chicago Medical Center shortly after the shooting.

Jamonty had been cycled through Chicago’s foster care system and frequently ran away from foster homes while trying to stay connected with his biological family. His foster parent Derek Brown and Brown’s sister Qiana Brown publicly criticized the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services for inadequate supervision and said the system’s failures contributed to his death. As of the latest reports, no arrests had been made and Area South detectives continued to investigate.

Did anyone who knew Jamonty or saw activity near 79th and Colfax on March 28, 2019, come forward with information?
