Ural Jaylin Durant was 21 when he died on July 29, 2016, in Chicago. He was standing near an SUV parked in the 2400 block of West 79th Street at about 7:15 p.m. when two people came out of a gangway and began shooting at the vehicle. The SUV, reported stolen, fled and then crashed into a building at 79th and Artesian. Several occupants of the vehicle ran from the scene.

Durant was struck by the fleeing SUV and was pronounced dead at 7:44 p.m. Police initially reported he had been shot in the head, but the autopsy found he died from multiple injuries caused by the vehicle striking him; his death was ruled a homicide. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remained open as of the latest reports.

If anyone saw the shooting, the SUV before it crashed, or the people who fled after the crash, please come forward with any information.
