Devin Hill, 21, was shot to death on January 24, 2018, near the boxing gym where he mentored youth in Chicago’s North Lawndale neighborhood. He had been involved with the Boxing Out Negativity program, which aimed to steer young people away from violence through boxing and mentorship. Hill had earlier legal troubles, including gun and drug charges, but had reportedly secured work and completed educational programs before his death.

A Chicago police officer witnessed the shooting and tried to apprehend the suspect; the officer was injured during that encounter. Hill’s family had already suffered other losses to gun violence, with both his brother and his nephew killed in separate incidents.

Devin is remembered by community members for his efforts to turn his life around and to help younger people do the same. Does anyone who knew Devin or who was near the gym that day have information that could help explain what happened?
