Jaheim Wilson was 16 when he was shot and killed on April 7, 2018, in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood. He and a 13-year-old boy were walking in an alley in the 5100 block of West Huron Street when an unknown assailant opened fire. Jaheim was struck in the hand, leg and head and was pronounced dead at the scene; the 13-year-old was shot in the leg and survived. The shooting occurred less than half a mile from Jaheim’s home.

Raised by his grandmother, Virvey Wilson, after his mother died eight years earlier, Jaheim was the youngest of six siblings and a sophomore at Marshall Metropolitan High School. He liked peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and admired LeBron James; his grandmother described him as a joyful presence who liked to make people laugh. No arrests were made immediately after the shooting, and investigators had not apprehended any suspects as of the latest updates.

Does anyone who knew Jaheim or was in that neighborhood that evening have information that could help the investigation?
