Cynthia D. Richardson, 54, was found fatally shot outside her Chicago home in West Englewood on November 5, 2016. Police were called about a shooting at approximately 1:09 a.m. in the 5900 block of South Winchester Avenue and discovered Richardson on the lawn with a gunshot wound to the neck; she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Friends and neighbors remembered Richardson as kind and loving; one friend said she was a very sweet person who made everybody laugh and that the loss would be hard on her family and the neighborhood. Earlier that year, on April 11, 2016, Richardson had been arrested on a retail theft charge and released the next day. As of the latest information, no arrests have been announced and the Chicago Police Department continues to investigate.

Does anyone in West Englewood have information about that night or knew Cynthia well enough to share details that might help the investigation?
