On the morning of December 13, 2015, 26-year-old Andre D. Donner Jr. was found with a gunshot wound to the head in the 7200 block of South May Street in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood. Officers discovered him at about 10 a.m.; he was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and pronounced dead shortly thereafter. Donner lived in the 7000 block of South Lowe Avenue.

Following the shooting, 19-year-old Demarco Bennett was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Prosecutors say Donner was standing alone at the corner of 72nd and May when Bennett exited a silver vehicle and shot him multiple times, including twice in the head, once in the neck, and eight times in the body. Police stopped that silver vehicle shortly after the shooting for a minor traffic violation; an eyewitness identified Bennett as the shooter, a firearm recovered nearby had Bennett’s fingerprint on the magazine, and shell casings at the scene matched that weapon. Bennett was reportedly out on bond at the time for an aggravated unlawful use of a weapon charge.

Federal authorities later indicted members of the Goonie Boss faction, alleging the gang carried out multiple homicides in Englewood and that leader Romeo Blackman was responsible for Donner’s killing as part of a racketeering scheme. Those developments produced federal prosecutions tied to multiple murders in the area.
