Ian Blue Ashford, known as Blue, was a 22-year-old African American man who was fatally shot in Chicago on October 6, 2017. Police described his death as violent and possibly targeted, and investigators pursued leads including potential gang ties and personal disputes that might have motivated the killing.

The Chicago Police Department conducted interviews and followed public tips, but the investigation has been hindered by a lack of witness cooperation.

If anyone knew Ian, was in the neighborhood that day, or has information that hasn’t been shared with detectives, please come forward to help his family and the investigation.
