French Cribbs, a 22-year-old African American man who lived in the Gresham neighborhood, was shot and killed on August 30, 2018, in Englewood on Chicago’s South Side. The shooting happened about 8:13 a.m. while Cribbs was walking in the 400 block of West 75th Street. Reports say he got into an argument with another person who produced a handgun, fired multiple times and then fled in a blue SUV with a temporary license plate.

Cribbs suffered two gunshot wounds to the head and three to the buttocks and was pronounced dead at the scene. Area South detectives took over the investigation but made no immediate arrests. Witness uncooperativeness and the suspect’s quick departure have been cited as obstacles to identifying the shooter. Detectives continue to ask anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone in the area that morning see a blue SUV with a temporary plate or other details that could help identify the person who fled?
