Travis R. Harris, an 18-year-old African American male, was fatally shot on November 6, 2016, in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting happened in the early hours of the morning and Harris was pronounced dead at the scene. Initial accounts described an altercation involving Harris and several individuals shortly before multiple gunshots were heard and a group fled the area.

The Chicago Police Department interviewed witnesses and reviewed surveillance footage as part of the investigation. Reports say several suspects were later identified and arrested; a 19-year-old African American male was charged with first-degree murder amid allegations the shooting was linked to a gang dispute. Harris’s family publicly sought justice and took part in community efforts calling for action on gun violence and support for at-risk youth.

If anyone knew Travis, was in the Austin neighborhood that night, or has information that could help clarify what happened, please share what you know.
