Two teenage students from Fenger High School were found shot to death on the Far South Side of Chicago. Darnelle Flowers, 17, and his friend Raysuan Turner, 16, were reported missing days before their bodies were recovered in a field on August 19, 2018. Autopsies showed both had multiple gunshot wounds; Flowers was shot in the back of the head, the left shoulder, and the right cheek, while Turner suffered two shots to the back and one to the abdomen. Forensic testing indicated both victims were killed with the same handgun, identified as either a .357 or .38-caliber.

Prosecutors say two acquaintances, Kahlil Colone, 16, and Leslie Ward, 17, lured the boys to Golden Gate Park on August 17, 2018, with the intent to kill. Witnesses told investigators they heard the suspects discuss the murders and later heard several gunshots after seeing the group enter a wooded area. One witness says Ward gave them a bag containing a handgun the next day and threatened them into silence. Colone and Ward were charged as adults with two counts of first-degree murder and ordered held without bail.

Does anyone have information about Flowers or Turner’s movements in mid-August 2018, or about the Golden Gate Park area that could help clarify what happened?
