Samantha Springer was a 21-year-old college student from Calumet City, Illinois, who was shot and killed outside her family’s home on Pulaski Road on September 17, 2015. According to reports, she had just parked and was walking toward the house when a male suspect approached, exchanged words with her, then shot her multiple times at point-blank range. She was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after midnight.

Investigators said Samantha was dating a known gang member and suggested the shooting might have been gang-related, but police have not released a suspect description and no arrests have been announced. Her parents, Tom and Shari Springer, and the local community have organized memorial events, including a 5K and a scholarship at South Suburban College, and have used billboards and social media to appeal for information; proceeds also fund a reward for information leading to an arrest. The case remains unsolved.

Does anyone have information about Samantha, that night on Pulaski Road, or contacts who might help move this investigation forward?
