Deandre Russell, 38, was shot and killed on the night of August 21, 2025. Police say the shooting happened around 10 p.m. on the 300 block of South Maplewood Avenue, where a male suspect walked up on foot and opened fire. Russell was struck multiple times and taken to Stroger Hospital, where the Cook County medical examiner later pronounced him dead.

The same burst of violence on South Maplewood also killed 28-year-old Nurrie Foy; officials described the two scenes as separate attacks linked by timing and proximity. Less than an hour later, a separate shooting on West Gladys Avenue left 27-year-old Tia Bell dead. Police reported no arrests in Russell’s killing and released no detailed description of the shooter beyond that he approached and fled after firing. Detectives were asking the public for information.

If anyone saw activity on South Maplewood Avenue around 10 p.m. on August 21, 2025, or has information about the shooting, this case still needs tips.
