DaMarcus Roberts, 20, was shot multiple times in the early hours of August 24, 2016, as he walked back from a convenience store near 189th Street and Springfield Avenue in Flossmoor, Illinois. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and died the next morning.

Roberts was in school to become a surgical technician, hoped to play college football, worked four years at a local restaurant, and was a devoted father to a one-year-old. Family and friends described him as obedient and hardworking with no known enemies.

The Flossmoor Police Department and the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force say the shooting does not appear to have been random. Surveillance footage from the convenience store has been reviewed but has not produced a breakthrough, and no suspects have been arrested. Roberts’ family has offered a reward and continues to urge anyone with information to step forward.

If anyone in the community knew DaMarcus or has information about that night, please come forward to investigators.
