Zachary ZackTV Stoner, 30, was shot and killed in Chicago’s South Loop in the early morning hours of May 30, 2018. Leaving the Refuge nightclub after a packed rap show, he was driving through the 700 block of South Clark Street around 1:30 a.m. when gunfire from another car shattered his windshield and struck him in the head and neck. His Jeep mounted the curb and crashed into a light pole; bystanders saw people flee into a getaway car. Stoner was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead before dawn.

Stoner was known for documenting Chicago’s rap and neighborhood scenes. Investigators collected surveillance video, witness statements, cellphone location data and ballistics evidence, including a bullet recovered from his body. Detectives later arrested five suspected members of the South Side Perry Avenue gang on probable cause of first-degree murder, but the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office declined to charge in 2019, citing inconsistent witnesses and a possible mutual combatant situation. No prosecution has been announced.

Did anyone who followed ZackTV’s work or was in Printer’s Row that night see anything that could help clarify what happened?
