Kortney Blakes, 23, was shot in the head at Horan Park on Chicago’s West Side on August 26, 2015. The shooting occurred about 10:36 a.m.; Blakes was taken to Stroger Hospital and pronounced dead at 2:07 p.m. that same day. He lived on the 3200 block of West Polk Street.

The attack also killed 22-year-old Kwamaine Lovette, who was shot in the chest and later died at Mount Sinai Hospital. Two other men, ages 23 and 22, were wounded and survived. Authorities tied the shootings to a gang feud.

Two suspects were charged: 29-year-old Ricky Dortch was arrested on two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated battery with a firearm, with bond set at $1 million; 19-year-old Frank Robinson was charged with first-degree murder and was identified by witnesses as the shooter who exited a vehicle and opened fire. Both faced court appearances in connection with the case.

Did anyone see Kortney or Kwamaine at Horan Park that morning or have information about the gang feud that preceded the shooting?
