Demond Avant was 16 when he was killed by gunfire on December 3, 2014, in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood. He was standing on the sidewalk in the 600-block of North Mayfield Avenue just before 9:30 p.m. when a gunman emerged from a van and opened fire. Witnesses heard a rapid volley of shots; Demond was struck in the head and pronounced dead shortly after at West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park. Police said he had no gang affiliations.

Two suspects, Kenyon Jones, 33, and Paris Jones, 24, were arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Authorities say the men approached in a van and one exited to shoot; motive has not been established. Demond attended the Academy of Scholastic Achievement and was described by his family as smart, outgoing, and loving.

Does anyone who lived in Austin in 2014 remember seeing a van in the 600-block of North Mayfield Avenue that night or have information about the suspects’ movements?
