On the evening of Monday, February 26, 2024, Jon Rucker, a 47-year-old Black man, was using an ATM in Chicago’s Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood when he was struck by a stray bullet during a shootout near 71st and State Streets. He was shot in the head, taken to a hospital, and died of his injuries two days later on Wednesday, February 28.

The violence began about 5:40 p.m. after an argument between two men. Prosecutors say 53-year-old Trivell Pruitt opened fire, wounding a 30-year-old man in the leg, then exchanged gunfire with a second, unidentified shooter. Pruitt was shot in the leg during the exchange. Another innocent bystander, 59-year-old Simon Brown Sr., was shot while buying a lottery ticket and died at a hospital shortly after the shooting.

Pruitt was found inside a nearby Subway at about 8:30 p.m., taken to a medical center and later arrested and charged with first-degree murder in Brown’s death; no murder charges have been filed in connection with Rucker’s death. Surveillance video captured the incident and the second shooter remains at large. Has anyone who was in Greater Grand Crossing that evening seen activity or footage that could help investigators locate the second shooter?
