Malik R. Johnson, 24, was killed in an early-morning ambush on June 21, 2025, on Chicago’s Near West Side. Around 2:30 a.m. he was standing on a sidewalk in the 2300 block of West Roosevelt Road when a black SUV pulled up, three men got out and opened fire, then returned to the vehicle and fled. Johnson suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Two others were struck in the same attack: a 23-year-old woman, Dennishiana Mattox, was shot in the chest and abdomen and also died at Stroger Hospital; a 25-year-old man was hit in the ankle and survived, listed in good condition at Rush Hospital. Investigators recovered shell casings at the scene; by daybreak no one was in custody and police appealed for information. Subsequent updates continued to list the case as open with no suspects or charges announced.

Did anyone in the area that night see the black SUV or the three people who got out? If so, please share what was seen with Chicago police.
