Nurrie Foy, 28, was shot and killed on Chicago’s West Side on August 21, 2025. Police say the shooting happened about 10:09–10:10 p.m. while Foy and another man were standing outside in the 300 block of South Maplewood Avenue. A male assailant reportedly approached on foot and opened fire. Foy was struck in the left and right flank, taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, and pronounced dead; the Cook County medical examiner identified him.

That incident was the first of two linked shootings that night in the broader East Garfield Park/Near West Side area. The other man at the Maplewood scene, 38-year-old Deandre Russell, was taken to Stroger Hospital and also died. Less than an hour later, gunfire on the 3900 block of West Gladys Avenue killed 27-year-old Tia Bell and wounded at least one other person.

Area Four detectives were investigating and no arrests or charges had been announced; police have only said the shooter approached on foot before firing. If anyone has information about the Maplewood Avenue shooting or the person who approached on foot, please share what you know.
