Jamal Coleman, a 22-year-old African American man from Chicago, was shot and killed on September 21, 2013. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds on a sidewalk in the 1300 block of West Washburne Avenue in the University Village/Little Italy neighborhood and was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to Stroger Hospital.

Coleman lived in the 5400 block of West Monroe Street and had recently secured a job with a mailing company; he was looking forward to celebrating his son’s first birthday. His death occurred during a violent weekend in which at least five people were shot and killed between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. No arrests were made immediately, and the case remained unsolved for some time as police searched for suspects amid few witnesses.

Family and community members held vigils and memorials and called for more resources to solve the case. Does anyone have information about Coleman’s death or recall activity in the University Village/Little Italy area that weekend?
