Chevonne Brown, 31, was found shot to death in her Back of the Yards home in Chicago on June 28, 2013. Her 5-year-old son, Sterling Sims, was also found fatally shot; the pair were discovered around 2:40 a.m. in their residence on the 5300 block of South Winchester Avenue. A separate 11-year-old son survived after an assailant’s gun reportedly malfunctioned when aimed at him.

An 18-year-old neighborhood resident, Antonio Lewis, was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Chevonne Brown and Sterling Sims and with one count of attempted murder for the attack on the 11-year-old. Lewis was shot multiple times and hospitalized less than 24 hours after the killings; he nonetheless faced the murder and attempted murder charges. Reports note Lewis had prior charges for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and possession of a controlled substance.

Chevonne Brown’s family described her as a devoted mother. Does anyone have information about the neighborhood or the victims that could help clarify what happened that night?
