Leon S. Averhart Jr., 25, was found in Chicago on August 13, 2017, with multiple gunshot wounds and died from his injuries. The shooting occurred during a confrontation that escalated into violence; witnesses reported hearing shots and seeing people flee the scene. Police recovered shell casings and surveillance footage as part of the investigation.

The Chicago Police Department identified several suspects described as young local males and arrested multiple people. Those arrested were charged with offenses including first-degree murder and unlawful use of a weapon. Prosecutors have presented evidence while defense attorneys have disputed direct links tying their clients to the killing.

The case prompted vigils and rallies as community members and activists pushed for justice and action on gun violence. Does anyone have information about Leon, the scene that night, or witnesses who haven’t yet come forward?
