Erik Louis Charles Jr. was 25 when he was found dead in Chicago on September 6, 2017. Known as LC, he was a US Army veteran and is survived by his daughters Brooke and A’Miyah, his mother Michelle Cummings-Stubbs, and his father Erik Louis-Charles Sr.

Initial reports say Erik had been shot multiple times; police treated his death as a violent crime and the Chicago Police Department opened an investigation. The probe identified several suspects, and arrests were later made; charges were brought relating to the killing. Investigators faced challenges, including a lack of witnesses willing to come forward.

Erik’s family remained involved in the court process and sought answers and accountability. If anyone knew Erik, his movements that night, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
