Mysean Dunning was 16 when he was shot dead on the night of November 25, 2015, in East Garfield Park on Chicago’s West Side. Just before midnight two people approached near his home in the 3300 block of West Van Buren Street and one of them shot Mysean in the head; he was pronounced dead at the scene and the Cook County medical examiner recorded time of death as 12:06 a.m.

Earlier that evening, around 6 p.m., a white Lincoln driven by 19-year-old James Armstrong spun out and collided with a black vehicle near Homan Avenue and Van Buren Street; the Lincoln’s occupants fled and left the car behind. In apparent retaliation the occupants of the black vehicle broke the windows of the abandoned Lincoln. Later that night Armstrong and another person returned in an SUV, Armstrong retrieved a firearm from the SUV, approached where Mysean was standing and shot him at close range in the face. Mysean’s sister found him collapsed on the sidewalk shortly after.

James Armstrong was later identified as the shooter and charged with first-degree murder; he appeared before Cook County Judge Adam Bourgeois Jr., who denied bail. Did anyone in the neighborhood see the confrontation that led to Mysean’s death or know more about the people who returned in the SUV?
