Ronald Sawyer was a 30-year-old African American man found dead in his vehicle in Chicago on January 3, 2014, having suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Police treated the death as a homicide and initial accounts described a drive-by shooting: witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots and seeing a dark-colored vehicle speed away from the scene in a neighborhood with high crime rates.

Investigators said the case went cold quickly because of few solid leads and reluctance of potential witnesses to come forward. The family has been active in outreach and anti-violence efforts since Ronald’s death. Few other details about motive or suspects have been released publicly.

If anyone knew Ronald, saw activity in that neighborhood that night, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward to the Chicago Police Department.
