Scott Travis Thompson, a 45-year-old African American man, was one of four people found shot to death inside a home in the Fernwood neighborhood on Chicago’s Far South Side on December 17, 2016. Police believe the location functioned as a drug house and that the killings followed a home invasion and robbery tied to a drug sale earlier that day. The other deceased were Elijah Jackson, 36; Shacora Jackson, 41; and Nateyah Yafah Hines, 19.

Investigators say the shooting was not random. Prosecutors later charged 29-year-old Lionel Parks with four counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder, alleging he visited the home three times that day — first to buy marijuana and later with an accomplice to commit the robbery. Evidence cited at the time included home monitoring records, surveillance video, and cellphone records; one survivor who played dead identified Parks as a perpetrator. A teenage daughter of Shacora Jackson survived but remained on life support and unresponsive to touch or sound.

Does anyone have information about the Fernwood house or the people who were there that day?
