Ambriana Collins, a 24-year-old African American woman and mother of a 4-year-old son named Angelo, was shot and killed in an alley in the 10700 block of South Eberhart Avenue in Chicago’s Roseland neighborhood on January 25, 2019 at about 2:35 a.m. Responding officers found her with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest; she was pronounced dead at the scene and the Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide by gunshot wounds.

Family described Collins as a hardworking parent who held jobs at both a Popeyes restaurant and a McDonald’s location. The family had recently endured the death of Angelo’s father from cancer a few months earlier, and Ambriana’s killing left relatives and neighbors shocked and mourning.

Investigators say a white SUV was seen speeding away from the scene shortly after the shooting. No arrests have been announced and Area South detectives continue to seek information. If anyone knew Ambriana, saw activity in that alley, or has information about the white SUV, please come forward.
