Jerome T. Wright, a 50-year-old African American man, was killed on May 11, 2016, in Chicago, Illinois. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds; the circumstances were treated as suspicious and prompted a police investigation.

Witnesses reported hearing gunshots near his residence and nearby surveillance cameras captured footage of a person fleeing the scene shortly after the shots. That footage and subsequent forensic analysis were used to identify and arrest a 32-year-old man, who was charged with first-degree murder. At trial the jury found the defendant guilty and imposed life in prison without parole.

Jerome’s family filed a wrongful death civil suit against the convicted man; the court awarded the family a substantial settlement. If anyone knew Jerome, saw activity near his home on May 11, 2016, or has information about the events that night, please share what is known.
