Reginald J. Crawford, a 30-year-old African American man, was found dead on May 7, 2018, in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood after suffering multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene; the shooting occurred in the early hours of the morning. Witnesses reported a heated argument shortly before several gunshots were heard and said the shooter fled before police arrived.

The Chicago Police Department opened an investigation and initially struggled to identify a suspect. Detectives examined Crawford’s history of minor criminal offenses while probing motive, but no clear link between those past incidents and the homicide was established in early investigative reports. The case remained unsolved for several months, leaving Crawford’s family and the community seeking answers.

Did anyone in Englewood hear or see anything that night, or have information about who confronted Reginald Crawford in those early morning hours?
