Jashyra Blackhawk, 22, a Black/African American woman, was shot and killed in the early hours of August 10, 2025 during a large street party in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood. Gunfire began about 2:48 a.m. near West End and La Crosse avenues; officers found six people struck. Blackhawk was hit in the back and pronounced dead soon after. Five others, from teenagers to adults, were wounded, and several were listed in critical condition.

The gathering reportedly swelled to well over a thousand people, was described by local officials as unauthorized, had been promoted on social media, and was moved at the last minute. Investigators described a chaotic scene across multiple crime scenes in the neighborhood; detectives appealed for witnesses and video. Cook County Crime Stoppers announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to an indictment or arrest. No arrests or publicly named suspects have been reported.
