On the evening of Sunday, November 30, 2025, 18-year-old Oliver Sims was shot and killed in Bronzeville, Chicago. The ambush happened around 5:05 p.m. in the 4100 block of South Wabash Avenue while Oliver was sitting inside a vehicle with two other people, a 20-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman. Three unknown suspects reportedly approached on foot and at least one produced a handgun and opened fire into the car.

Oliver sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver tried to flee but lost control and crashed at 31st Street and Michigan Avenue. The two surviving passengers were taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center with gunshot wounds to their legs and were listed in good condition. As of early December 2025, no arrests had been announced, no suspect descriptions were released, and the motive remained under investigation. Funeral services were arranged through Leak & Sons Funeral Homes.
