In the gray light of dawn on June 16, 2025, Angelo Smith, 51, was shot and killed on the 11500 block of South Prairie Avenue in Chicago’s West Pullman neighborhood. Two sedans rolled up to the sidewalk shortly after 5:37 a.m. and occupants in both vehicles opened fire; witnesses described a sudden volley of about fifteen shots. Smith suffered multiple gunshot wounds, including to the leg, and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead.

Police said the shooters fled in the two cars and remained at large while Area Two detectives opened an investigation. No one was in custody in the immediate aftermath, and the case was later recorded among Chicago’s 2025 homicide victims. Does anyone who was in West Pullman that morning have information about the two vehicles or the people who fled the scene?
