Demetrius Tolliver, 23, was shot and killed in West Garfield Park on March 31, 2016. Known as DJ, he had been a Farragut High School basketball standout and later played at Highland Community College. Tolliver was struck in the chest and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The shooting was a drive-by involving multiple assailants. Four armed people emerged from a stolen white van and opened fire on Tolliver and others standing outside. The attack also killed 43-year-old Dejenaba A. Altman and injured a 16-year-old boy, who survived. Witnesses saw the shooters and one witness made eye contact with a gunman.

Police arrested 17-year-old Hajuan Hentz, charged him as an adult with murder, and held him without bond. Prosecutors say shell casings and fingerprints found in the abandoned stolen van, plus a photo identification by witnesses, link Hentz to the shooting. Anyone with information about Tolliver, the van, or the attack is asked to come forward.
