On February 25, 2024, a mass shooting inside a home on the 8000 block of South Vincennes Avenue in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood of Chicago left 14-year-old Amere P. Deese dead. The shooting happened just after 7:30 p.m.; four people were shot in total. Amere was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital and later pronounced dead. Two adults also died, including 20-year-old Ladeverett West Ringgold, while another person shot was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and is expected to recover.

Reports say all of the victims knew one another, though they were not exactly blood relatives, and the scene was described as gruesome. The attack came on a day that saw multiple mass shootings in Chicago, leaving family members and the community reeling. Is there anyone who knew Amere or the other victims who can share information about that evening?
