Fifteen-year-old Robert D. Gunn Jr. was shot in broad daylight on November 15, 2025, after a brief argument near his home on the 9200 block of South LaSalle Street in the Roseland/Princeton Park area. Police say the dispute turned violent around 12:38 p.m. when an unknown person produced a gun, fired, and struck Robert in the chest. He was transported in critical condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and later pronounced dead.

Friends and family described Robert as a quiet, family-oriented teen. Pastor Donovan Price, who had baptized him that summer, called him someone noticeably kinder than many other teenagers. The family was already mourning a separate loss earlier in the year when Robert’s 12-year-old cousin Deliah was fatally shot; that case led to charges against two teenagers.

No suspect has been publicly identified and no one is in custody; detectives in Area Two say there is no detailed description of the shooter and no announced motive. If anyone knew Robert or has information about what happened near 9200 South LaSalle Street on November 15, please share what you know.
