Johnathan Lane, a 23-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on July 28, 2016, in the Gresham neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting occurred about 10:15 p.m. in the 7700 block of South Loomis Boulevard. Lane was with a 25-year-old man when an assailant exited a nearby white van and opened fire; Lane sustained a gunshot wound to the head and the other man was shot in the abdomen.

Both victims were taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn. Lane was pronounced dead the next day at 4:05 p.m. Investigators determined the shooter fired from the white van, but the motive and the assailant’s identity remain unclear, and no arrests were announced immediately after the incident.

Anyone with information about Johnathan Lane, the white van, or the events that night is asked to come forward.
