On May 28, 2017, at about 5:40 p.m., 20-year-old Jervon JoJo Morris, a legally blind and developmentally disabled African American man, was shot in the head while playing basketball at Euclid Park near 98th Street and Wallace Avenue in Chicago’s Longwood Manor neighborhood. He was found lying face down, appearing to have been trying to run home when struck. Family and neighbors remembered him for his love of basketball, his volunteer work at the park even in winter, and for being a lovely young man whose disabilities did not define him.

Police searched the area for casings and other evidence, and investigators said no suspects were in custody; authorities believed Morris was likely not the intended target but was struck in crossfire. His death occurred during a violent Memorial Day weekend in the city when several people were killed and many more wounded. No arrests had been announced and the investigation remained open.

Does anyone who knew JoJo or who was in Euclid Park that evening have information that could help bring answers?
