Tyshawn Micheal Lee was a 9-year-old African American boy murdered in Chicago on November 2, 2015.

Three men were identified in connection with the killing.

A third accomplice, Kevin Edwards, pleaded guilty as the getaway driver and was sentenced to 25 years.

In the months after Tyshawn’s death, Pierre Stokes reportedly shot three people, including the girlfriend of one of the men tied to the murder; Stokes was convicted of attempted murder, aggravated battery with a firearm, and other charges. Tyshawn was remembered as a boy who loved basketball and hoped to play in the NBA.
