Jacques Barnes, a 20-year-old African American man, was fatally shot while sitting in his car on November 22, 2015, in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago. He sustained gunshot wounds to the back of his head and left knee and was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead at 5:28 p.m.

Twenty-year-old Kwan Ward exited the van and shot Barnes about 11 times; eleven shell casings were recovered at the scene. Ward later told police he shot Barnes because they belonged to rival gangs and said he had seen Barnes taunting them earlier. After the shooting Ward was struck by a vehicle while attempting to flee, returned to Doss’ van, and both men fled; a witness followed the van and alerted police. Doss and Ward were located after a brief chase, and Ward directed officers to the firearm he had discarded under a porch.

Both men were charged with first-degree murder and held on $1 million bond. Does anyone have additional information about Barnes’ life in Englewood or about witnesses who followed the van that day?
