Glennell Fairley, 21, was shot and killed on July 9, 2016, at Ogden Park in the Englewood neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. He was playing basketball with a 15-year-old boy when an assailant opened fire; Fairley was struck in the chest and arm and was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead shortly after midnight. The teenager was also wounded and treated at Holy Cross Hospital.

Investigators say the shooting followed an altercation between the 15-year-old and the shooter, identified as 23-year-old William Stovall, then on parole. Stovall reportedly left the scene briefly, returned with a handgun, fired into the air to disperse the crowd, then shot Fairley six times. Fugitive trackers from the Great Lakes Regional Task Force later arrested Stovall, who was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated battery.

Fairley was a Kenwood Academy graduate who had worked as a mentor in the One Summer Chicago youth program and had appeared at a February 2015 event promoting the program. Does anyone with knowledge of Fairley, the park that day, or who saw what happened have information to share?
