Chevelle Carter, a 32-year-old man from Calumet Park, Illinois, was shot and killed on the evening of October 19, 2024, in the Oakland neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting happened around 8:40 p.m. near 38th Street and Ellis Avenue. Police found Carter with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest; he was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and pronounced dead. Witnesses told police two gunmen fired and then fled in a white vehicle.

Area 1 detectives were investigating and no one was in custody the morning after the shooting. The medical examiner later confirmed his identity. Carter had a prior run-in with police in August 2023, when he was charged with aggravated fleeing and eluding and attempting to elude after a high-speed chase; three loaded handguns were recovered from his vehicle then and he faced a fugitive warrant for a probation violation related to vehicle theft charges.

If anyone has information about the October 19 shooting, please come forward.
