Daquan Mahmud Albright was 17 when he was shot to death on August 19, 2018, in Chicago’s West Englewood neighborhood. Around 6:15 p.m. officers found him with multiple gunshot wounds on the 7300 block of South Claremont Avenue and he was pronounced dead at the scene, only blocks from where he lived. Area Central detectives opened a homicide investigation.

The killing was one of several fatal shootings that late-summer weekend on the South Side. In the weeks that followed police released no motive and announced no arrests; contemporaneous roundups named Daquan but gave no suspect description or charges, and later local coverage did not report a breakthrough. Portraits from memorial projects describe a teenager who loved music and video games, followed the Bulls and Bears, attended church on Sundays and paid attention to fashion — a life cut short just before his senior year.

If anyone knew Daquan or has information about the shooting on South Claremont Avenue, please share what you know.
