Kyle McGowan was a 17-year-old African American male from Chicago who was fatally shot on May 14, 2018. He was struck in the abdomen about 5:25 p.m. in the 3000 block of East 80th Street in a South Chicago neighborhood and later died from his injuries.

Kyle was described as an outstanding scholar and a tech-head who could take things apart and put them back together. He loved to cook and spend time with children, including his baby daughter. His mother had moved him to a new neighborhood for a safer environment; he was close to obtaining his GED and had recently taken a job at a movie theater. On the day he was killed he had returned to his old neighborhood to attend a vigil for a friend who had been shot days earlier.

No arrests or suspects have been identified and the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Kyle, saw activity in the area of East 80th Street around 5:25 p.m. on May 14, 2018, or has information that could help, please come forward.
