Anthony Bankhead was 18 when he was fatally shot on April 19, 2014, in an apartment in Chicago’s South Chicago neighborhood. He and 16-year-old Jordan Means were found in the basement of a building on South Houston Avenue with gunshot wounds to the head after a dispute that began over a cell phone cord and escalated on Facebook.

Authorities identified 23-year-old Justin Hamilton, of Flossmoor, as the primary suspect and charged him with two counts of first-degree murder. The Cook County Medical Examiner confirmed both teenagers died from gunshot wounds to the head; Hamilton was ordered held without bail.

The victims’ families and the community mourned two young lives lost after a trivial online quarrel turned deadly. Does anyone have information about the events leading up to that night or about activity in that South Houston Avenue building?
