Oceana Jones, 21, was shot and killed shortly after midnight on July 31, 2018, in Chicago’s Gresham neighborhood. She and her 20-year-old boyfriend were at the Falcon Fuel gas station at 79th Street and Ashland Avenue when four men approached and asked about the boyfriend’s gang affiliation. The couple denied any involvement, fled because they felt threatened, and were chased. During the pursuit near 79th and Justine streets, Oceana was shot in the back and was pronounced dead at the scene; her boyfriend escaped unharmed.

A recent Johnson College Prep graduate who had turned 21 on July 16, Oceana had no criminal history or gang ties; family and the community described her as a straight-A student. Surveillance footage from a nearby business captured the chase and has been reviewed by police. The shooting has been linked to an ongoing neighborhood gang war, but no arrests have been announced. A $5,000 reward was offered and a vigil drew mourners; the gathering was disrupted by a brawl.

Did anyone in the area see the group chasing them that night or recognize anyone in the surveillance footage?
