Carlton Tu Tu Archer was 17 when he was found fatally shot in an alley in Chicago’s South Side Woodlawn neighborhood on November 10, 2011. His body was discovered behind garbage cans around 10 p.m. that evening, left in a secluded area that underscored the brutal nature of the killing.

Carlton was described as a well-known local figure who associated with rap groups and street gangs, including connections to members of the Fly Boy Gang. Police launched an extensive investigation but faced obstacles: witnesses were reluctant to come forward and no arrests were announced in the days after the murder. The case remains open with authorities still seeking information.

If anyone knew Carlton, saw activity in the alley that night, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
