Reports say an altercation that night escalated into a targeted shooting; witnesses heard multiple gunshots and saw a vehicle speed away. Emergency responders were unable to save him and he died at the scene.

Shawn had been a standout high school basketball player. The Chicago Police Department opened a comprehensive investigation and questioned several suspects, and there have been sporadic arrests over the years, but no definitive convictions are reported.
