Quentin A. Thompson was 26 when he was shot and killed in Chicago on March 28, 2015. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds after an altercation with unknown assailants in a neighborhood described as having high crime rates; emergency responders were unable to save him at the scene.

Investigators identified several suspects early, and multiple arrests followed. Some of those arrested were said to have known gang affiliations, and charges ranged from first-degree murder to illegal possession of firearms. Prosecutors relied on eyewitness testimony and forensic evidence to link defendants to the scene, while defense attorneys argued the evidence was insufficient, producing a protracted series of motions and appeals.

The court ultimately found the primary suspects guilty and imposed lengthy prison terms. Quentin’s family and community members attended the proceedings and sought justice for his death. If anyone knew Quentin or has information about the events of March 28, 2015, please share what you remember.
