Tommie L. Jones, a 28-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on October 1, 2017, in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting occurred about 10:30 a.m. on the 2600 block of East 75th Street when a man approached Jones and a 26-year-old woman and opened fire. Jones died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds to the head and back. The woman was shot in the back and survived with serious injuries.

A 38-year-old man, Vincent Davidson, was arrested on December 26, 2017, and charged with first-degree murder and aggravated battery by discharge of a firearm in connection with Jones’s killing. Davidson’s bail was later reduced and he posted a deposit bond in August 2020. Subsequent incidents while Davidson was out on bond led to additional charges, including being a felon in possession of a firearm and resisting arrest after a June 1, 2021 traffic stop where officers found an open bottle of tequila and a loaded 9-millimeter handgun with a laser sight in his car. He was later arrested again after another traffic stop in September 2021 when a handgun with a device to enable automatic fire was found in his trunk; those events resulted in him being held without bail for alleged bond violations in the murder and gun cases.

Are there any witnesses or neighbors who recall the morning of October 1, 2017, on East 75th Street who could add details about the shooting?
