Carlos James Hemphill, 33, was fatally shot in the West Chatham neighborhood of Chicago on February 20, 2016. He was struck in the pelvis while standing in the 8100 block of South Harvard Avenue shortly before 10:05 p.m., and was later found in the 8100 block of South Stewart Avenue. Hemphill was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and pronounced dead the following day; the Cook County medical examiner ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound.

Police say someone in a white or gray vehicle fired the shots that critically injured Hemphill. Earlier that same evening two other men, ages 23 and 24, were wounded by gunfire in the nearby 8000 block of South Stewart Avenue after someone in a passing dark vehicle opened fire, both suffering leg injuries. Authorities described Hemphill’s shooting as appearing gang-related.

No arrests or suspects have been identified and the investigation remains ongoing. If anyone saw activity in the 8100 block of South Harvard or South Stewart avenues on the night of February 20, 2016, or has information about the vehicles involved, please come forward.
