On November 18, 2023, 16-year-old Leontaye Taylor was shot and killed inside a residence in the 100 block of North Parkside Avenue on Chicago’s far West Side. The shooting occurred about 8:30 p.m. after a physical altercation between Taylor and a 33-year-old man. The older man produced a handgun and fired multiple shots, striking Taylor several times in the chest; Taylor was pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the death.

A witness said the suspect fled the residence before police arrived, taking the handgun. Chicago police later confirmed a suspect was taken into custody shortly after the incident and charges were pending. Area Four detectives are investigating the case.
