Raymon Blount, a 29-year-old African American man, was killed on January 8, 2016, in the Lawndale neighborhood on Chicago’s Southwest Side. He was among a group standing on a sidewalk in the 1500 block of South Kedzie Avenue when gunfire erupted at about 8:45 p.m. Blount was struck in the shoulder and chest and went to Mount Sinai Hospital, where medical personnel later pronounced him dead. The Cook County medical examiner’s office confirmed his death; he was listed as living on the 300 block of North Pine.

Four other people were wounded in the same shooting. Two 28-year-old men were each shot in the right thigh and taken to Mount Sinai, one by ambulance and one who drove himself; a 21-year-old man shot in the left ankle went to Saint Anthony Hospital; and a 26-year-old man suffered a graze wound to the right thigh and declined on-scene treatment. The Chicago Police Department indicated the shooting was likely gang-related.

Did anyone in the community see or hear anything that night on South Kedzie Avenue that could help clarify what happened?
