Laedd T. Jones-Tazrell, a 23-year-old African American man, was killed on February 18, 2018, in Chicago. He and another man were standing on a sidewalk in the 1500 block of West 80th Street in the early morning when gunfire erupted. Both men were struck; Laedd died of his injuries and the other man was wounded.

No arrests were made immediately after the shooting, and the case remained under investigation as detectives gathered evidence and interviewed witnesses. Investigators faced challenges from a lack of cooperation and few concrete leads. Family and friends held vigils and community events seeking justice and greater awareness of gun violence, but the case was still unsolved as of the last report.

If anyone was in the area that morning or has information about the shooting on West 80th Street, please come forward to investigators.
