Jonathan Mills was 26 when he was shot and killed on July 25, 2016, near North Lawndale College Prep in Chicago, the high school where he had been an all-state player. He was preparing to work out at the school when an unknown assailant shot him multiple times; he was declared dead at the scene. Mills had played college basketball at Southern Mississippi University and had played professionally in Canada and for a Chicago semi-pro team. He had returned to Chicago to rehabilitate an ankle injury and planned to work out with former coaches that day.

Investigators arrested 27-year-old Travell Taylor and later convicted him for shooting Mills multiple times outside a store in broad daylight. Court testimony described Taylor speaking with Mills and an acquaintance before returning with a gun and opening fire. The motive remained unclear, and Mills family and the community were left with unanswered questions.

If anyone knew Jonathan or has information about the shooting, please share what you know.
