Darrell Thomas Peden was 17 when he was shot and killed on July 18, 2016, in Chicago’s West Garfield Park neighborhood. The shooting followed an earlier episode around Christmas when he told a teacher he had been shot at but not hit; that incident reportedly left him worried and resigned to the possibility of an early death.

Described by a high school teacher as charismatic and intractable, Darrell lived in a poverty‑stricken area and was known to be involved in drug dealing. He had been expelled from school shortly before his death and reportedly carried several hundred‑dollar bills at times. No arrests or suspects have been identified and the case remains unsolved.

Does anyone in West Garfield Park remember Darrell or have information about the night he was killed?
