Ondrea Monique King, 58, was fatally shot on August 31, 2024, in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood. The shooting happened in the 3800-block of West Ogden Avenue during a gathering; investigators say multiple rounds were fired from an alley and one bullet struck King in the neck while she sat in a car. Her brother, who was outside the car, witnessed the attack and called it senseless.

King was remembered by family and community leaders for her strong faith and warmth. Born February 20, 1966, in Sheffield, Alabama, she was a great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother. Her mother, Shirley Parks, appealed to whoever is responsible to turn themselves in. Faith and community leaders have put up a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

If anyone was in the area that night or has information that could help bring King’s family some answers, please come forward.
