Marvin Powell, a 36-year-old African American man, was killed in a mass shooting on February 3, 2019, outside Reynold’s Lounge in Chicago’s Grand Crossing neighborhood. According to reports, a fight inside the bar spilled outside and a silver Ford drove by and opened fire on the crowd; seven people were shot. Powell was struck in the neck and chest and later died at the University of Chicago Medical Center. Another man, Jeremy Carothers, 39, was also killed. The remaining victims — four men and three women — were wounded and survived.

Powell’s record included a prior 2006 conviction related to the case of Christina Eilman, who fell from the seventh floor of the Robert Taylor Homes, a case that raised questions about how the Chicago Police Department handled people with mental health issues.

Does anyone have information about the shooting that night or saw the silver Ford in the area?
