Tyrone Anthony was 17 when he was shot and killed in an open lot at the southwest corner of 15th Street and Wallace Street in Chicago Heights on September 16, 2017. Officers found him with a gunshot wound to the chest at about 1:13 p.m.; he was taken to St. James Hospital and pronounced dead at 1:57 p.m. An autopsy confirmed the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the chest and the death was ruled a homicide.

Investigators recovered multiple spent shell casings and a silver handgun at the scene. The investigation led to the arrest of two Chicago Heights men: 42-year-old Sherman Martin was charged with first-degree murder and denied bail, and 46-year-old DuShawn Cook was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon, accused of providing the gun; Cook’s bail was set at $50,000. Police say earlier that day a man had been escorted from Martin’s house and later returned to the area with Tyrone, and that Cook allegedly handed Martin the gun used in the shooting.

Did anyone in the community know Tyrone or observe activity around 15th and Wallace that afternoon?
