Rasheed Walker, 23, was killed by gunfire while standing outside in a strip mall parking lot in Chicago’s Chatham neighborhood late on Saturday, July 19, 2025. The shooting happened around 11:45 p.m. in the 100 block of West 87th Street near the Dan Ryan Expressway and the corner of 87th Street and Lafayette Avenue. Walker suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the University of Chicago Medical Center.

Others were struck in the same burst of shots: a 25-year-old woman was hit in the head and taken to the University of Chicago in critical condition, and a 24-year-old man was wounded in the left shoulder and taken to Little Company of Mary Hospital in good condition. Authorities described the scene as a parking-lot gathering that turned into a sudden ambush when an assailant opened fire and then fled. By the following day no arrests had been announced and the shooter remained unidentified as detectives canvassed the area and reviewed evidence.

If anyone was in that parking lot on the night of July 19 or has information about who fired the shots, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
