On August 24, 2024, 21-year-old Christion Tucker was shot and killed while inside a vehicle in the 7200 block of South Washtenaw Avenue in Chicago’s Chicago Lawn neighborhood. The shooting happened about 7:15 p.m.; Tucker was struck multiple times and later identified by his godfather, Pastor Corey Brooks.

Pastor Brooks described Tucker as a college student and junior college basketball player planning to transfer to a four-year university. Family and detectives said Tucker was not involved in gangs and had a clean record. The loss compounds prior family tragedy: Christion’s brother had died previously. No arrests have been announced and Area 1 detectives continue to investigate. The Tucker family is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Christion is survived by his mother and two siblings.

If anyone knew Christion or has information about the shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
