Antoine Williams, 38, was fatally shot near the CTA Howard Red Line station in Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood on June 25, 2024, at about 3:30 a.m. Police found Williams with a gunshot wound to the head and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Surveillance footage shows Williams crossing Howard Street when an assailant came from a nearby alley and shot him at point-blank range in the back of the head before fleeing through the alley.

This was the second targeted shooting near the Howard station within nine days, following the June 17 murder of a 45-year-old man in the same area. Williams was known to local authorities; in late 2023 he had been arrested on charges related to firearm possession and cannabis distribution at an address near where he was killed. No arrests have been announced in connection with his murder. Community leaders and law enforcement continue to investigate.

If anyone saw activity near Howard Street and the alley around 3:30 a.m. on June 25 or has information about these recent shootings, please come forward.
