On May 15, 2013, at about 12:30 a.m., 22-year-old Jarell Doston was fatally shot while riding in a vehicle on the 6300 block of South May Street in Chicago’s Back of the Yards neighborhood. An assailant emerged from a gangway and opened fire; both Doston and a 25-year-old male companion were struck. Both victims were taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County. Doston died of multiple gunshot wounds to the head, chest, and arm; the companion sustained a gunshot wound to the left shoulder.

In October 2013, an 18-year-old named Charles Moore from the Greater Grand Crossing area was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in Doston’s death and attempted murder for the wound to the 25-year-old. Authorities alleged Moore fired on the victims’ vehicle.

If anyone knew Jarell, witnessed the shooting, or has information about the events that night, please share what is known.
