Deylion Lavell Spencer, a 30-year-old African American man, was fatally shot multiple times in Chicago on October 10, 2017. His death was classified as a homicide and investigators treated the shooting as a targeted attack.

Criminal proceedings proved complex: the defense argued the evidence was insufficient to prove involvement beyond a reasonable doubt, and the case passed through rounds of litigation with appeals and motions. Spencer’s family also filed civil litigation against the city of Chicago alleging negligence and inadequate protection, saying failures to address gang violence and provide law enforcement resources contributed to his death.

The investigation remains active and Spencer’s family continues to seek justice. Did anyone in Chicago at the time have information about Spencer’s movements or contacts around October 10, 2017?
