Seven-year-old Heaven Sutton was killed on June 27, 2012, in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood while helping her mother run a makeshift candy stand outside their home. Two gunmen opened fire in a gang-related confrontation between the Four Corner Hustlers and the Insane Mafia Vice Lords; a stray bullet struck Heaven in the back as she tried to flee. Marquis Monroe was also wounded in the shooting, suffering a gunshot to the leg.

Authorities identified Jerrell Dorsey, a reputed Four Corner Hustlers member, as the primary suspect. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm, and aggravated discharge of a firearm. Heaven’s mother, Ashake Banks, spoke publicly about the family’s grief. The shooting drew community attention and calls to end neighborhood violence.

Does anyone have information about Heaven’s life in Austin or about the events that night?
