Thomas Hodges, a 69-year-old African American man, was found dead on July 22, 1992, in the Chatham neighborhood on Chicago’s southeast side. His death was the result of a shooting during an armed robbery that was part of a larger series of violent attacks in the area.

Harris was eventually apprehended, charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder including Hodges’, and convicted; the prosecution relied on eyewitness testimony and forensic evidence.

The attacks affected the Chatham community deeply and Harris’ conviction was presented as bringing some measure of justice to victims and families. If anyone knew Thomas Hodges or has information about the events of July 22, 1992, please come forward.
