A brief phone call on the night of April 26, 2026, became Treyhon McCurdy’s last. The 20-year-old was driving in the West Pullman neighborhood when he called his mother and exclaimed that someone was shooting at him; the call then dropped. Police later found a black sedan that had struck a tree in the 12100 block of South Harvard Avenue around 10:09 p.m. Both McCurdy and an unidentified male passenger had sustained gunshot wounds. McCurdy was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center and pronounced dead; the passenger was declared dead at the scene.

Authorities describe the incident as a meet up with people McCurdy did not know that went wrong. The vehicle had been a recent birthday gift from his family. Area Two detectives are handling the investigation, and as of late April 2026 no arrests have been announced and the shooters remain at large. If anyone saw the sedan, the crash, or has information about who McCurdy met that night, please come forward.
