On the morning of August 6, 2017, 33-year-old Damien Hernandez was shot on the 5900 block of West 65th Street in the Clearing neighborhood on Chicago’s Southwest Side. The shooting occurred during a domestic dispute; police reported that Hernandez was battering a 30-year-old woman at the time. The woman was taken into custody at the scene but was later released and no charges were filed.

Hernandez, known to friends as 9 Blink, was a father of two, a Kelly High School graduate and a City of Chicago CDL driver. Online memorials and his obituary describe him as a loving father, son and brother; family noted he was an organ donor. The Chicago Police Department handled the investigation and the homicide case is not considered open.

If anyone knew Damien, his household, or witnessed the incident on West 65th Street that morning, can you share information that might fill remaining gaps?
