Raheem Jackson, 19, was fatally shot on March 30, 2017, in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood while visiting his mother at Nadia Fish and Chicken. He and his 20-year-old brother Dillon Jackson were among four people killed in the restaurant that day; the other two victims were Emmanuel Stokes, 28, and Edwin Davis, 32. The shooting occurred amid an especially violent day in South Shore that saw seven people killed.

Authorities treated the quadruple slaying as retaliatory. Maurice Harris, then 19, was arrested and charged with multiple counts including murder, attempted murder, and aggravated discharge of a firearm; he was held without bail at the Cook County Jail. In June 2020 prosecutors dropped all charges against Harris, saying eyewitness accounts were unreliable and the evidence was insufficient to meet the burden of proof, and a court granted dismissal in the interest of justice.

The dismissal left the victims families, including Raheem’s, without closure after the loss of two more relatives to gun violence. If anyone knew Raheem or has information about the attack at Nadia Fish and Chicken, please share what you know.
