Trevontez Trey Morris was 22 when he was shot to death in Chicago on June 5, 2017. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds in a neighborhood already dealing with frequent violence.

Initial investigative work involved questioning several people, but the case remained unsolved for a time, which caused distress to Morris’s family and the community. Later in the investigation, authorities identified and charged a suspect with first-degree murder; prosecutors relied on witness testimony, forensic analysis, and surveillance footage as part of the case, while the defense disputed aspects of the evidence.

This killing is one of many in the city that has raised concerns about gun violence and public safety. If anyone knew Trevontez Morris, his routines, or has information that could shed light on what happened, please come forward to assist the investigation.
