Carl Jackson, a 56-year-old African American man, was killed in a shooting on September 23, 2016, in Chicago’s Back of the Yards neighborhood on the South Side. He was attending a party when shots were fired; Jackson was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center where he was pronounced dead and an autopsy ruled the death a homicide.

Two women were also wounded in the same shooting: a 25-year-old struck in the leg and a 43-year-old hit in the ankle. Both were taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and were reported in good condition. Police have not disclosed a motive or the identity of the shooter, and no arrests have been announced.

The community voiced concern about local violence and called for increased police presence and community engagement. Jackson’s family and friends remain frustrated by the lack of progress in the investigation. If anyone who attended that party or who has information about the shooting can help, please come forward.
