Dexter Williams, 38, was shot multiple times and killed just after midnight on August 3, 2025, in Chicago’s Humboldt Park. Police say the violence began during an argument on the 1000 block of North Springfield Avenue around 12:44–12:45 a.m. Williams was taken to Saint Mary of Nazareth Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Two other people were wounded in the same burst of gunfire: a 28-year-old man hit in the chest and arm, and a 44-year-old woman wounded in the wrist. Detectives reported that a man produced a gun during the confrontation, fired, and fled. A weapon was recovered at the scene, but no arrests were announced and no one was in custody as the investigation continued.

Community memorial pages later listed Dexter Williams among those lost to gun violence on August 3, 2025, highlighting how the case remains unresolved and the toll on the neighborhood. If anyone saw the incident or has information about the person who produced the gun, please come forward.
