Deonte L. Thomas, 23, was shot and killed on January 20, 2018 near the 69th Street Red Line station in Chicago. Prosecutors say the shooting happened around 1:15 p.m. at an upper-level bus stop after Jerome Moore, 29, and others approached Thomas and a friend. Thomas was struck multiple times in the chest and died at the scene.

Jerome Moore was arrested three days later at a Greyhound station after returning from Milwaukee and was found carrying a loaded 9 mm handgun. He was charged with first-degree murder and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon; prosecutors cited CTA surveillance video placing Moore at the scene and a witness identification. Thomas, who lived in West Englewood, was ruled to have died of multiple gunshot wounds by the Cook County medical examiner.

If anyone saw the shooting or has information about Thomas that could help the case, please share tips.
