Maurice McKnight, a 26-year-old African American man, was shot to death on September 19, 2016, in the Altgeld Gardens neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting occurred around 11 a.m. in the 13100 block of South Langley Avenue. The Cook County medical examiner’s office recorded him pronounced dead at the scene at 12:08 p.m. after multiple gunshot wounds; the autopsy confirmed several gunshot injuries.

McKnight and a 20-year-old man were involved in an argument with an unidentified individual who then produced a firearm and opened fire. The younger man was shot in the chest and left arm and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where his condition was stabilized. In December 2016 a reputed gang member was charged in McKnight’s murder and was denied bail, and investigations continued.

Did anyone in Altgeld Gardens or the surrounding area see anything that morning or know more about the people involved?
