Lorenzo Stanley, a 20-year-old African American man from Chicago, was shot multiple times and killed on April 3, 2006, on the South Side. The shooting was described as part of a cycle of retaliatory, gang-related violence in the neighborhood. Witnesses said the shooter approached Lorenzo and three others outside a church and fired at point-blank range; Lorenzo managed to drag himself into the church lobby before collapsing. Several .45-caliber casings were recovered at the scene.

An anonymous tip led police to 27-year-old David Stanley, who was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm, and unauthorized use of a weapon. Prosecutors said the shooting was revenge for the death of David Stanley’s cousin the day before; witnesses and forensic links between the casings and a weapon found on David Stanley were presented at trial. The jury convicted David Stanley on all counts.

Does anyone remember the church or the block where this happened, or have other information about the incident or the people involved?
