Farouk A. Bolariwa, a 32-year-old Black man from Chicago, was fatally shot on October 10, 2025. He had been seated in a car in the 9700 block of South Princeton Avenue in Roseland around 2:20 p.m. when several people walked up to the vehicle and opened fire. Bolariwa suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene as police and tape secured the block.

Area 2 detectives opened a homicide investigation and described multiple assailants, but no arrests had been made by the end of the day. The case rests on witness accounts, surveillance and leads that investigators will need to build. Bolariwa’s name appears on citywide victim lists and memorial pages noting the date, neighborhood and his age.

Did anyone in Roseland see the shooting or have dashcam, doorbell or other footage from that afternoon that could help identify the attackers?
