Ronald Jerome Clarke, a 23-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on January 5, 2016, in an apartment in the 2000 block of West 52nd Place in Chicago’s Back of the Yards neighborhood. Police say Clarke became involved in a physical altercation with an unknown assailant who then produced a firearm and shot him in the face. He was taken to Stroger Hospital and later pronounced dead.

Investigators describe the killing as the result of a confrontation rather than a random attack. No arrests have been announced and the shooter’s identity remains unknown; the investigation has been hampered by a lack of witnesses and concrete evidence. Family and friends have held vigils and urged anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone who lived in Back of the Yards in January 2016 recall activity around West 52nd Place or have information that could help resolve this case?
