Timothy Jackson, 36, was shot and killed on October 20, 2025, in Chicago’s Back of the Yards neighborhood. Around 6:47 p.m. he was walking near the sidewalk on the 2100 block of West 52nd Place when gunfire struck him in the head. First responders and the Cook County medical examiner pronounced him dead at the scene and detectives cordoned off the block.

Investigators canvassed the area through the night for witnesses and nearby cameras. By the next day authorities had released his name but not a motive, and they provided no public description of a suspect. No arrests had been announced and the case remained with area detectives as they tried to determine why Jackson was at that corner and who fired the shots.

If anyone saw activity on West 52nd Place on the evening of October 20 or has information about Jackson’s movements that night, please share what is known with detectives handling the case.
