Youman McKenzie, 23, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of December 22, 2014, in the 500 block of South Central Park Avenue in Chicago’s East Garfield Park neighborhood. He sustained gunshot wounds to his shoulder and left thigh and died despite emergency responders’ efforts. Reports describe the shooting as part of a shootout in front of a bar in the Homan Square area on the West Side.

No arrests have been reported in connection with the shooting. The case was listed on the city’s public data portal under the category criminal damage to a vehicle, a classification that has been questioned as inconsistent with the incident being a fatal shooting. McKenzie had an earlier arrest in May 2012 in Illinois; available details do not link that arrest to his death.

Anyone with information about McKenzie, the shooting that night, or the bar where it occurred is asked to come forward.
