Lonnie Smith, a 47-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on July 26, 2018, while sitting on his mother’s front porch in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago. Lonnie had worked at the same job for more than 20 years and was described as a dedicated family man who provided for his family.

The family launched a GoFundMe to raise reward money for information leading to arrests and convictions, and Detective Mathbos is handling the investigation. The case remains unsolved; the family and investigators cite a lack of witnesses willing to speak and fear of retaliation as obstacles.

Does anyone from Englewood who was in the area that day or who knew Lonnie have information that could help bring those responsible to justice?
