Joseph Burdine, a 24-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on March 19, 2015, in an alley between Kedzie Avenue and Troy Street, just north of 80th Street in the Wrightwood neighborhood of Chicago. He was chased down the alley and shot once in the head and once in the back, and was found face down in a parking spot behind an apartment building, partially covered by a sheet.

The scene was chaotic as family members and onlookers argued with officers; Joseph’s mother, Traci Burdine, was not allowed to view his body before it was removed. Joseph had been targeted by violence before — in 2010 he was shot in the abdomen by a 16-year-old after a street argument, and the shooter was later sentenced to 15 years. The family has speculated his earlier testimony against that teen might be connected to the 2015 killing. Despite prior arrests, Burdine had no record of violence and charges against him were dropped.

No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the investigation remains open. Did anyone in Wrightwood or who knew Joseph notice anything unusual around March 19, 2015?
