Derrick ’DJ’ Hall was a 22-year-old African American man from Chicago who was killed on August 6, 2018. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds in a neighborhood described as having high crime rates. Witnesses reported hearing several shots and seeing a vehicle speed away, and initial reports described the incident as a drive-by shooting.

The Chicago Police Department opened an investigation and recovered surveillance footage and shell casings at the scene. Reports say evidence pointed toward involvement by a local gang, but investigators faced challenges because many potential witnesses were unwilling to cooperate. Several arrests were reported in the months after the shooting.

Derrick’s family continues to grieve a life cut short. If anyone saw the shooting, the fleeing vehicle, or has information that could help, please share what is known with the Chicago Police Department.
