John L Young was 28 and from Chicago’s Far South Side when he was killed on the night of July 11, 2018. He was standing on the front porch of a home in the 100 block of East 120th Place in West Pullman close to midnight when a minivan drove by and someone inside opened fire. Young was struck in the left shoulder, taken to Christ Medical Center, and later pronounced dead.

Police described the attack as a passing-vehicle shooting and said detectives from the Area South bureau were investigating. Public reports from the time do not name a suspect or describe an arrest, and no widely reported follow-up indicates the shooter or driver was identified or charged. Online memorials and messages refer to him by the nickname Big Moochie and show family and friends mourning him.

If anyone knew John Young, his routines, or saw a minivan in the 100 block of East 120th Place that night, please share what you know.
