Neal Bratcher, 48, was fatally shot on September 23, 2015, in the Burnside neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. He was shot multiple times in what investigators described as a drive-by shooting. Bratcher was the son of Juanita Bratcher, publisher of CopyLine Magazine, and the late labor leader Neal A. Bratcher, Sr.

No arrests were made immediately after the shooting, and the family and community say the case remained unsolved for several years. The Chicago Police Department continued to investigate with occasional public tips; those leads reportedly produced dead ends. The family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city of Chicago alleging negligence in addressing gun violence, and the community held vigils and memorials in his memory.
