Sherrod Poppie Rhyme was 18 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting on June 16, 2017, in the Park Manor neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting happened about 3:15 p.m. while he stood outside in the 7000 block of South State Street. A dark-colored vehicle pulled up, a gunman exited and shot Sherrod in the head. He was taken to Stroger Hospital and died there at 6:36 p.m.

Sherrod lived in Calumet Heights and was known locally for his community involvement and as an aspiring rapper. Witnesses said two male suspects fled in a maroon vehicle, possibly a Mercury or similar model; one suspect was described as a Black male with dreadlocks, wearing a t-shirt and jeans. No arrests were made immediately and the case remained open as investigators sought information.

If anyone saw the maroon vehicle or the men involved that afternoon, can you share what you know with investigators?
