Navell Morris, 28, was fatally shot outside in the 4900 block of West Adams Street in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago on Sunday morning, August 17, 2025. According to police, multiple armed assailants approached and opened fire around 11:40 a.m.; several shooters fled the scene. First responders took Morris to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Area Four detectives opened a homicide investigation, but authorities did not release suspect descriptions or a motive that afternoon and no arrests had been announced. Morris’s death was recorded amid a weekend of citywide gun violence that left at least two people dead and more than twenty wounded, a pattern investigators were tracking that week. His name later appeared on memorial and victim-tracking pages that compiled the official details.

If anyone saw the shooting or has information about the assailants, please share what is known with Chicago police or Area Four detectives.
