On August 6, 2015, William Drake, a 20-year-old African American man, was shot and killed near an alley in the 500 block of West 109th Street in Chicago’s Roseland neighborhood, just before sunset. Neighbors reported hearing a burst of gunfire and found Drake and 22-year-old Briona White lying on the ground with gunshot wounds; Drake was pronounced dead at the scene and White was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where she later died.

Witnesses said two young men fled in a small yellow car, heading south on Parnell Avenue. Police files note Drake had recently been released from jail after serving time for an armed robbery conviction. The motive remains unclear and no arrests have been announced; the Chicago Police Department continues to investigate.

If anyone saw activity near West 109th and Parnell Avenue around sunset on August 6, 2015, or has information about the small yellow car, please come forward.
