On February 21, 2015, 28-year-old Demarcus Adams was shot and killed in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood. Witnesses and reports place a walk-up shooter approaching him on the 4600 block of North Malden (location also recorded around 4650 North Malden) at about 5:05 p.m.; Adams was struck in the back and leg and was pronounced dead at 5:44 p.m. that evening. The shooter fled in a silver car, and police recovered shell casings and canvassed the area during the initial response.

Investigators said early on the motive might be gang-related but did not name a suspect. An Uptown alderman described Adams as a known P-Stone gang member and a convicted felon, a detail that shaped how detectives framed the incident while the shooter remained unidentified and no arrests were announced. Few public details tie the attack to a specific person beyond the vehicle description.

If anyone knew Adams, saw activity on North Malden that winter evening, or has information about the silver car or the shooter, please come forward.
