Charles Bush, a 33-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on April 3, 2013, on the street in the Washington Park neighborhood of Chicago. His death prompted a thorough investigation by the Chicago Police Department, but the case has remained unsolved.

Investigators report difficulty developing the case because few witnesses came forward, a reluctance attributed in part to fear of retaliation. Over the years detectives have followed several leads and identified persons of interest, yet no arrests have been announced and the investigation remains open.

Bush’s death has spurred community responses including outreach programs, increased police presence, and partnerships with local organizations aimed at at-risk youth; his family and community continue to call for justice. If anyone has information about what happened to Charles Bush on April 3, 2013, please come forward.
