Fifteen-year-old Bruce Marshawn Owens was fatally shot on a sidewalk in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago on January 19, 2017. A student at Dunbar Career Academy, Bruce’s death stunned the neighborhood and added to the city’s toll of youth gun violence.

Police launched an investigation to identify those responsible. Reports say detectives developed leads from social media messages and surveillance footage and later arrested two people in connection with the killing, including a 20-year-old Marshawn Owens and an 18-year-old Lonesha Strong. Court action followed in the case.

Bruce’s family and community remember him as a student taken far too soon. If anyone saw what happened that day or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
