Keayon Brooks was 18 when he was shot and killed on December 11, 2017, near a bus stop at the southwest corner of Division Street and Lamon Avenue in Chicago. The location is adjacent to Youth Connection Charter School West, an alternative school for students aged 17 to 21. The Cook County medical examiner’s office and police reports state Brooks was struck by multiple gunshots and pronounced dead at 9:50 a.m.

Police say the shooting began after a verbal altercation between Brooks and 17-year-old Michael Palmore. Surveillance footage reportedly captured Palmore pulling a gun; Brooks tried to swat the weapon and run but was shot several times. Another 17-year-old student was wounded in the leg and treated at Stroger Hospital. Investigators later arrested Palmore and charged him with first-degree murder and aggravated discharge of a firearm; officers cited a distinctive red 49ers jacket seen on surveillance and social-media photos of Palmore with a gun as linking evidence.

Does anyone have information about that morning or about the people who were near Division and Lamon that day?
