Syruss L. Box was 15 when he was shot and killed on the evening of May 17, 2025, in the Roseland neighborhood. He had been visiting family to celebrate his younger brother’s birthday and was standing near the sidewalk in the 400 block of West 110th Street around 6:04 p.m. when a car rolled up and occupants opened fire. Witnesses and family described the vehicle as a dark-colored car, family calling it a silver, two-door Honda; two masked assailants were seen, one wearing sunglasses and the other with a cloth tied and short dreadlocks trailing.

Bullets struck Syruss in the neck and abdomen. He was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital but was pronounced dead soon after arrival; the Cook County Medical Examiner identified him as Syruss L. Box, age 15. Police said there had been no arrests and no named suspects; detectives canvassed for video and witnesses while the investigation remained open.

He was described by family in online tributes as affectionate and protective of his siblings, remembered for scooter rides and the nickname used by loved ones. If anyone saw the dark, two-door car or has information about the shooting, can you share what you know with investigators?
