Demingo Williams, 19, was fatally shot inside a North Chicago home during the early morning of July 12, 2025. At about 1:05 a.m. officers and firefighters responded to a shooting at a residence in the 2200 block of Kemble Avenue. Williams was found upstairs, unconscious and barely breathing with a gunshot wound to the chest; responders began CPR and he was transported to Advocate Condell Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead shortly after 2 a.m. An autopsy by the Lake County Coroner’s Office determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the chest.

Investigators determined the shots were fired from outside the house and that the home had been struck multiple times. Whoever fired the rounds had fled by the time officers arrived. A second person at the scene was treated for shock and taken to Vista Medical Center East in Waukegan. The North Chicago Police Department, assisted by the Lake County Major Crime Task Force, described the shooter as an offender or offenders and had not publicly named any suspect, described a motive, or provided a suspect or vehicle description. No arrest had been announced and the investigation remained ongoing.

Whoever knew Demingo, or who was in that neighborhood on the night of July 12, 2025, is asked to come forward with any information that might help identify who fired into the Kemble Avenue home.
