Tia Bell, 27, was shot to death the night of August 21, 2025, on the 3900 block of West Gladys Avenue in Chicago’s Garfield Park. Authorities say she was standing outside with a 26-year-old man when a shooter approached on foot and opened fire; Bell was struck multiple times and later pronounced dead at Mount Sinai Hospital. The man with her was also wounded and hospitalized in fair condition.

Local reports identify Bell as a Black woman and a mother of nine. The Cook County medical examiner confirmed her identity the following day, and local memorial and family fundraising pages recorded her death and the children she left behind. Police said the shooter fled on foot; investigators from the Chicago Police Department’s Area 4 were handling the case and no arrests had been announced in the initial reports that weekend.

Does anyone in Garfield Park have information about that night or saw someone fleeing the scene around 10:45–10:50 p.m. on August 21?
