Aaron M. Smith, a 36-year-old African American man, was shot and killed in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood on October 12, 2016. He was standing in the 7400 block of South Chappel at about 11:10 p.m. when he heard gunfire and discovered he had been struck. Smith suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and groin and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:56 p.m. The Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide due to multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators later arrested 17-year-old Demarcos Crowder and charged him as an adult with first-degree murder in connection with Smith’s death. Authorities say the alleged shooting occurred after an argument on October 31, 2019, in the 1600 block of South Allport Street; Crowder was held without bail and faced further court proceedings.
