Thirteen-year-old Darius C. E. Brown was killed on August 3, 2011, while playing basketball at Metcalfe Park in Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood. Shots were fired from a passing car around 5:20 p.m., and Darius, an unintended target caught in the crossfire between rival gang members, was rushed to Comer Children’s Hospital and died that night.

The investigation produced several arrests and charges: Vito Richmond, 17, Aramis Beachem, 22, and Jamal Streeter, 18, were each charged with first-degree murder; Clarence Whitelow, 29, was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon; and Michelle Lawrence, 21, was charged with insurance fraud for allegedly disposing of the vehicle used in the shooting and filing a false claim. A reward was offered for information, and a memorial was placed at the basketball court.

The community reacted with sorrow and frustration over ongoing violence and the need for safer spaces for youth. Did anyone see Darius at Metcalfe Park that afternoon or have information about the car that drove by?
