Adonis Webber, 17, was found facedown on the pavement in the 10600 block of South Avenue M in Chicago’s East Side just before dawn on September 15, 2025. A neighbor reported hearing a single sharp crack, and officers arriving about 2:58 a.m. discovered him with a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and pronounced dead a few hours later.

Investigators classified the case as a homicide and logged it to Area Two detectives. Early reports note there were no signs of an argument at the scene, no immediate description of a fleeing vehicle or person, and no security footage or witnesses beyond the sound that drew someone outside. By mid-day the Cook County medical examiner confirmed name, age, and the fatal wound; police said no arrests had been made and no motive identified.

Who knew Adonis or was in that corridor before dawn on September 15?
