Kendrick Thorton, a 22-year-old African American man from Bellwood, Illinois, was shot to death on August 21, 2016, in Chicago’s Garfield Park neighborhood. His body was found with 38 gunshot wounds. He was among seven men in Chicago that month who died after being shot at least ten times, a pattern noted by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office as part of an increase in the number of gunshot wounds per victim.

Details about arrests, suspects, or legal proceedings in Thorton’s case are scarce. His death occurred during one of the city’s bloodiest summers, when 762 homicides were recorded in 2016 and most were gun-related. The case remains an example of the many unsolved, high-fatality shootings that have affected communities and strained trust in the city’s criminal justice response.

If anyone knew Kendrick, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could help his family or investigators, please come forward.
