Trinity Boswell was 18 when she was fatally shot in Englewood on June 9, 2024. The shooting happened early Sunday morning near 72nd Street and Ada Street after an argument at a gathering. Trinity tried to take cover by rushing into a parked car, but a bullet penetrated the window and struck her in the head, killing her.

The killing was one of many shootings that weekend in Chicago; at least 44 people were shot with eight fatalities. A block away that night, family friend 22-year-old Kenziah Petis was injured in an apparent drive-by and remained in a coma. No arrests have been announced in either case.

Residents and Alderman David Moore (17th) have reacted to the violence; Moore has been camping on 73rd Place between Ada and Racine to deter crimes and has pushed for continued use of the city’s ShotSpotter system and other policing measures. The Englewood street where Trinity was killed has seen at least three recent homicides and neighbors are calling for a clearer strategy to prevent further killings.

If anyone knew Trinity, was at the gathering that night, or has information about what happened near 72nd and Ada, please come forward.
