Africa S. Bass, 23, was shot and killed on July 27, 2016, in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood. The shooting occurred about 12:05 a.m. as she walked on the sidewalk in the 8700 block of South Burley Avenue. A black SUV pulled up and someone inside opened fire, striking Bass in the back; she was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead at 12:51 a.m. Her aunt, Sade Wilson, witnessed the attack and said Bass was also shot in the chest and collapsed while holding her hand.

Bass had moved into a new home in the complex just hours earlier. She was a mother of two young children, a 2-year-old daughter and a 5-year-old son; the shooting happened on the son’s 5th birthday. Neighbors told investigators the intended target may have lived in the same complex and suffered a minor hand injury. Police interviewed a possible person of interest but no arrests have been announced and the case remained unsolved as Area South detectives continued the investigation.

Vigils and marches followed as family and community members mourned and called for an end to local violence. Does anyone who lived in that complex or the neighborhood at the time have information that could help this investigation?
