Darnall Gordon, a 36-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on April 7, 2014, inside a convenience store in the 1600 block of West Howard Street in Chicago’s Rogers Park. The shooting occurred about 7:20 p.m. when an unknown assailant across the street opened fire, striking Gordon in the chest. He was taken to Presence Saint Francis Hospital in Evanston and pronounced dead at 8:26 p.m. Two other men, ages 27 and 25, were injured but survived.

Area North detectives concluded the attack was likely gang-related amid a local surge in gang violence. No arrests have been made; progress was hindered by few witnesses willing to come forward and the absence of surveillance footage from the scene. Gordon’s family and community have held vigils and marches to honor him and press for stronger community engagement and policing.

Did anyone in Rogers Park at the time see or remember details about the shooting or the people involved?
