On April 30, 2018, 29-year-old Clarence Dabney was shot and killed in the University Village neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting occurred around 2 p.m. near 13th and Throop streets, close to Chicago Tech Academy, which went into lockdown. Dabney was seated in his car and was struck multiple times on the left side of his body; nearby residents reported hearing seven to eight gunshots just before the shooting. Police reported a lack of eyewitness cooperation at the scene.

Family and friends described Dabney as a family man. His fiancée, Rhonda Morgan, and his sister, Tanika Dabney, spoke about their grief. Friends mentioned past involvement with gangs and a brief period of incarceration but said they were uncertain about any motive. Does anyone have information about what happened that afternoon or the people involved?
