Shawn Boggs, a 42-year-old African American man, was killed in Chicago on May 3, 2018. He was found late at night with multiple gunshot wounds in a neighborhood described as having high crime rates and was pronounced dead at the scene despite emergency responders’ efforts.

Investigators treated the death as a homicide. Early lines of inquiry included a possible gang connection because of the location and circumstances, but detectives also explored personal disputes that might have led to the shooting. The Chicago Police Department interviewed witnesses and reviewed nearby surveillance footage; however, witnesses were reportedly reluctant to speak because of fear of retaliation, and the evidence available at first did not lead to an immediate arrest.

Anyone with information about the shooting, Shawn’s movements that night, or potential motives is asked to come forward.
