Eric Burgin, 29, was shot and killed on June 24, 2016, while sitting on his grandmother’s porch on the 6400 block of South Damen Avenue in Chicago. Another person on the porch suffered a graze wound to the lower left leg.

Howard was quickly taken into custody by gang enforcement officers and charged with first-degree murder; he was held without bail by Cook County Circuit Judge Laura M. Sullivan. The murder weapon was described as a silver revolver similar to one previously seen on Howard’s Facebook page. The shooting drew attention to gang-related gun violence and generated supportive social media posts for Howard by some youths in the community.

Does anyone have information about this shooting or remember seeing activity on South Damen Avenue that day?
