Jamaries Niarre Jones, 27, was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting on April 9, 2025, around 4:10 p.m. He was on the sidewalk in the 300 block of North Cicero Avenue in Austin, Chicago, near a church, when a gray vehicle pulled up and an occupant opened fire. Jones suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 4:40 p.m.

A 25-year-old woman who was with Jones was struck in the leg and buttocks and taken to the same hospital in fair condition. Authorities have not made any arrests or publicly identified suspects, and they have not disclosed a motive. The shooting, so close to a place of worship, has prompted grief and calls for increased efforts to address gun violence in the neighborhood.

Anyone with information about the attack is urged to contact investigators.
