Maurice Coleman, a 29-year-old African American man, was shot to death on March 2, 2014, in a residential area of Chicago, Illinois. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds, and police say those wounds caused his death.

Witnesses reported hearing gunshots and seeing a vehicle speed away from the scene. Investigators recovered shell casings and obtained surveillance footage from nearby cameras. Early in the inquiry detectives treated the shooting as a targeted attack and said some witnesses were reluctant to come forward because of fear of retaliation.

Police later identified several suspects they tied to local gang activity and carried out raids and interviews that resulted in arrests. Defense attorneys disputed presence at the scene and described the case against their clients as circumstantial, while prosecutors relied on eyewitness accounts and forensic links to a weapon.

If anyone knew Maurice or has information about the March 2, 2014 shooting, please share what you know.
