On May 12, 2025, Deonte Thrasher, 30, was shot while standing on a sidewalk in the 3900 block of West Thomas Street in Chicago’s Humboldt Park. According to incident logs and local reporting, a male gunman stepped out of a black sedan at about 6:45–6:46 p.m., fired, and fled east in the same vehicle. Thrasher was struck in the back, taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, and later pronounced dead.

Police publicly linked this incident to a fatal shooting in Humboldt Park that evening and said Area Four detectives were investigating. Initial reports withheld the victim’s name; memorial listings and community remembrance pages later identified him as Deonte Thrasher.

Does anyone who was in the area that evening or who remembers seeing a black sedan near West Thomas Street have information to share with investigators?
