Terrell Burkhart, a 29-year-old African American man, was killed in Chicago on May 6, 2016. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds and died shortly after being discovered. The shooting happened in a neighborhood described as having high crime rates, and investigators concluded he was likely targeted though a clear motive was not established at the time.

The Chicago Police Department investigated, but progress was hampered by a lack of eyewitnesses willing to come forward. Over the years following the killing, several people were questioned and the inquiry produced significant developments, including arrests tied to the case and charges such as first-degree murder. Prosecutors relied on forensic analysis and witness testimony while defense teams contested evidence and investigative methods.

Burkhart’s family engaged in outreach and advocacy to honor him and highlight the impact of gun violence. Does anyone have information about Terrell, the neighborhood that night, or contacts who might be willing to speak about what they remember?
