Julius Maurice Coleman, an 18-year-old African American male, was fatally shot on August 9, 2016, in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago. Reports say he was shot multiple times by an unknown assailant in an area noted for high crime and gang activity. No arrests have been announced and the motive remains unclear, though the shooting has been linked to local gang violence.

Investigators say progress has been hampered by a lack of witnesses and community reluctance to come forward. Julius’s family and friends have urged anyone with information to speak up; community leaders have highlighted the case while calling for more resources to prevent gun violence.

Who knew Julius or might have seen something that night and can help move this case forward?
