Leonore Draper, 32, was fatally shot on April 25, 2014, in the West Pullman neighborhood of Chicago. Draper, an African American anti-violence activist and a budget analyst for Chicago Public Schools, was returning home from an anti-violence fundraiser she helped organize when she was shot while sitting in her car at about 10:30 PM. She was taken to a hospital and later died of her injuries.

Police believe Draper was an innocent bystander struck in the crossfire of a drive-by shooting and do not think she was the intended target. No suspects have been arrested. Her husband, Jason Draper, and the community have continued to press for justice; vigils and memorial events have been held to honor her work against gun violence and her impact on others.

If anyone knew Leonore, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
