Terrance Murphy was a 20-year-old African American man who was shot and killed on August 28, 2016, on Chicago’s South Side. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene in the early morning hours. Initial reports noted he was not involved in gang activity and that investigators believed his death may have been a case of mistaken identity.

The Chicago Police Department identified several suspects, and two people were arrested and charged with first-degree murder; they were held without bail. Prosecutors relied on eyewitness testimony and forensic evidence at trial. Both defendants were later found guilty and sentenced to lengthy prison terms. Murphy’s family attended court proceedings and spoke publicly about the impact of his death, which also prompted community discussion about measures to address gun violence in Chicago.
