Frances Colon was an 18-year-old senior and honors student at Roberto Clemente Community Academy when she was fatally shot on February 15, 2013, in Chicago’s Humboldt Park. She had plans to attend Northeastern Illinois University and wanted to become an attorney. Frances was described as intelligent, creative, and outgoing, with interests in drawing, designing clothing, and spending time with friends.

That evening she stopped at a neighborhood convenience store near the 1100 block of North Pulaski Road. Around 7:00 p.m. a dispute between two men escalated nearby; one of them, later identified as Larry Luellen Jr., chased the other, Darius Hammond, and fired about six shots. Investigators concluded Frances was not the intended target and was struck in the upper back. She was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead at approximately 8:16 p.m.; the Cook County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide.

An anonymous tip, witness identifications and traffic-camera footage led police to arrest Luellen, who was charged in February 2013 with one count of first-degree murder and held without bond. The killing occurred shortly after President Barack Obama’s visit to the city to address gun violence and followed two other fatal shootings of Roberto Clemente students earlier that winter. Does anyone have information about Frances, the scene that night, or the people involved that could help clarify what happened?
