On the evening of June 29, 2026, 20-year-old Alfred Alexander was fatally shot during a drive-by in Chicago’s Chatham neighborhood. Alexander was walking with a 19-year-old and another 20-year-old on the 8200 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue at about 10:44 p.m. when a black sedan pulled up and an occupant opened fire. Alexander was struck in the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene; the Cook County Medical Examiner later identified him.

The two companions were both shot in the left leg and taken to local hospitals — one to Trinity Hospital and the other to the University of Chicago Medical Center — and were reported in good condition. Area Two detectives led the investigation and numerous evidence markers were placed at the scene. No arrests or suspect identifications have been publicly announced.

Did anyone in Chatham see the black sedan or the shooting that night, or have information about who was responsible?
