Lynell Bradley Jr., a 21-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on February 15, 2015, in the Englewood neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. The shooting happened about 3:20 a.m. while Bradley Jr. was in a minivan stopped at a traffic light in the 1400 block of West 71st Street. A tan-colored SUV pulled up behind the minivan, and a gunman opened fire, striking Bradley Jr. in the back.

The minivan stopped just past the intersection of West 71st Street and South Loomis Boulevard, near Altgeld Elementary School. Bradley Jr. was taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition and pronounced dead at 4:21 a.m.; an autopsy confirmed death from multiple gunshot wounds. A 24-year-old man who rode in the minivan was also shot repeatedly in the right arm and face and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where his condition was later stabilized. Shattered glass and bullet-riddled windows marked the scene, and a nearby police camera captured the incident.

No arrests have been announced and detectives continue to seek information and leads. If anyone knew Lynell or saw the tan SUV or the shooting that night, please share what can help this investigation.
