Kamarri Brockman, 16, was found just before 8 a.m. on October 8, 2025, in an alley off the 6000 block of South Prairie Avenue in Chicago’s Washington Park neighborhood. He had a gunshot wound to the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene. The Cook County Medical Examiner confirmed his death and the Chicago Police Department’s Area One detectives are handling the investigation.

Officers established a wide crime-scene perimeter; neighbors reported hearing gunfire during the night and nearby vehicles showed bullet damage, suggesting multiple shots were fired. The exact overnight timeline is unclear: the shooting likely occurred during the night, but Brockman was not discovered until morning. No arrests had been announced and detectives continued to seek information about what led to the gunfire on South Prairie.
