On August 12, 2015, 14-year-old Tracy Davis was found with a fatal gunshot wound to the head in the 700 block of North Homan Avenue in Chicago’s East Garfield Park neighborhood. Authorities said Tracy had been playing with a firearm alongside a 17-year-old boy when the weapon discharged. The 17-year-old fled the scene but later surrendered and was charged with involuntary manslaughter; a hearing was scheduled at the Leighton Criminal Court Building.

The account underscores how a moment with a firearm turned deadly for a young teenager. If anyone knew Tracy, the circumstances that day, or has information about the incident, law enforcement would welcome tips.
