Rashon Purnell, 24, was shot to death early on the morning of August 31, 2016, in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. Reports say he was shot multiple times and identified shortly after the shooting. No arrests were made at the time, and the investigation has seen little progress in the years since.

Investigators cited a lack of witnesses and community reluctance to come forward as major obstacles. Family and friends held vigils and memorials and have pushed for justice while participating in outreach to highlight the impact of gun violence in the neighborhood. The Chicago Police Department continues to ask anyone with information to step forward.

Does anyone have information about Rashon Purnell or his movements in Back of the Yards around August 31, 2016?
