Gregory Thomas-Bell, a 56-year-old African American man, was fatally shot in the early hours of November 26, 2016, in Chicago’s Woodlawn neighborhood and was pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots and seeing a vehicle speed away from the area.

The Chicago Police Department opened an extensive investigation and identified several persons of interest, but no arrests were made immediately. Investigators cited a lack of concrete evidence and reluctance among potential witnesses to come forward, and periodic updates indicated detectives continued to work the case without a significant breakthrough.

The shooting left family and friends seeking justice and closure. If anyone heard or saw anything that night or has information about the vehicle seen leaving the scene, please share it with the Chicago Police Department.
