Rosalind Slaughter, a 26-year-old African American woman, was killed on June 20, 1993, in Chicago during celebrations after the Chicago Bulls won the NBA Finals. The festivities on the South Side, including along State Street, devolved into widespread looting and gunfire; gang members and revelers fired shots into the air and chaos spread through parts of the city.

Rosalind was struck by a stray bullet while standing outside and was one of several civilians hit that night; a 15-year-old boy and a 12-year-old boy were also killed by stray bullets. Police made numerous arrests and several officers were injured by projectiles and gunfire, but there were no immediate arrests or suspects identified in the shooting that killed Rosalind. The investigation was hampered by the volume of gunfire and lack of witnesses, and no one has been held accountable for the stray bullet that ended her life.

Does anyone have information about where Rosalind was that night or recollections of the violence on the South Side that could help clarify what happened?
