Latray Wright was 16 when he was shot and killed on October 23, 2014, in Lockport Township, Illinois. The shooting happened in the afternoon while Latray and a 17-year-old friend were walking near Princeton and Fairmont Avenues. A blue vehicle drove up, an occupant opened fire, and Latray was struck as he tried to run. He was taken to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox and later airlifted to another hospital, where he died the next morning.

Investigators identified 16-year-old Christopher Stamps as the primary suspect and arrested him two days after the shooting. Reports say Latray and Stamps belonged to different factions of the same gang and that a rivalry escalated on Facebook may have been a motive. Stamps was charged with two counts of murder and held on a $3 million bond at the juvenile detention center before being moved to the county adult jail when he turned 18.

If anyone knew Latray, saw the shooting, or has information about the events around Princeton and Fairmont Avenues that day, please share what is known.
