Darren Foggey was 16 when he was killed on July 23, 2014, in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood on the Southwest Side. He was in a bedroom at a friend’s apartment in the 6700 block of South Artesian Avenue when a bullet came through the first-floor window and struck him in the neck; he was pronounced dead at the scene at 9:40 p.m. Darren lived about a block from the apartment.

Police tied the shooting to an ongoing conflict between groups of kids on opposite sides of Western Avenue. The month had already seen violent incidents connected to that conflict, including a fatal shooting on 68th Street on July 7 and a separate episode the week before when police fired at someone shooting across Western. Prosecutors said 15-year-old Rasaan Price walked up to the first-floor window and fired the single shot that killed Darren; multiple witnesses identified Price and nearby surveillance video captured parts of the attack. Price was convicted of murder on October 22, 2015, and was later sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Did anyone in Chicago Lawn at the time see signs the conflict was escalating or have information about how these groups were organizing?
