Joshua Rayborn, 28, was fatally shot on September 18, 2017, in the hallway of his apartment building in the 2900 block of South Arch Street in the Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting happened about 11:30 p.m. while he was talking on his cellphone; his wife heard a loud bang and found him in the hallway. Rayborn was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Rayborn’s family described him as a devoted husband and father of two children, ages 8 and 4, and as a performer who loved rap music. Prosecutors charged Emilio Chavez, an 18-year-old from the Garfield Ridge neighborhood, with first-degree murder, saying Chavez had arranged to buy cannabis from Rayborn that night, exchanged several text messages, met him and then shot him in the chest. Chavez was held without bond at the Cook County Jail and had a court date set shortly after his arrest.

The killing was one of several shootings across Chicago that night and left the family and community grieving. Did anyone in Bridgeport or Garfield Ridge see Rayborn or Chavez that evening or have information about the transaction?
