Jazznique Jazz Fort, a 15-year-old freshman at Auburn High School in Rockford, Illinois, was shot and killed on January 2, 2015. She was in a parking lot in the 800 block of Lee Street near the Fairgrounds Valley public housing complex when shots were fired from a passing black or gray minivan; Jazznique was struck in the head and pronounced dead at the scene. A 19-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and was taken to a hospital.

Her death was the first of 19 homicides recorded in Rockford in 2015. No arrests have been made in connection with the killing. Jazznique’s mother, Lanetka Ingram, maintains memorials at the site and believes someone in the community knows the killer but fears retaliation. Police and family have repeatedly asked the public for information, stressing that even small details could help solve the case.

Does anyone who lived near Lee Street in early January 2015 have observations or information that could assist investigators?
