Akaysha Miller, 19, was shot and killed in broad daylight while sitting in a parked car on the 1600 block of South Ridgeway Avenue in North Lawndale on the afternoon of May 15, 2025. Police and the Cook County medical examiner identified Miller and set the time of the attack at about 2:30 p.m. Three people walked up to the vehicle and one opened fire; she was struck in the head and torso, taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, and pronounced dead there.

Officers taped off the street and searched the block for cameras and shell casings. Area 4 detectives were assigned to the investigation, and police reports in the immediate aftermath described the same basic sequence: a parked car, three offenders approaching, a burst of gunfire, and an investigation that remained open. No arrests, charges, or suspect identities had been announced by that date.

If anyone saw the vehicle, the three people who approached it, or has dashcam or doorbell footage from that stretch of Ridgeway Avenue around 2:30 p.m. on May 15, please share what was seen.
