On September 19, 2023, 18-year-old Marquese Simmons was fatally shot while walking in the 8100 block of South Ellis Avenue in Chicago’s East Chatham neighborhood. At about 8:10 a.m. a black Dodge Charger pulled up, three unidentified males exited and opened fire, striking Simmons multiple times; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspects then returned to the Dodge Charger and fled southbound. No arrests have been announced and the Chicago Police Department is investigating.

Earlier in 2023, in April, Simmons was arrested and charged with criminal trespass to a vehicle in connection with an armed robbery involving two other juveniles in the Hermosa neighborhood. What details can anyone provide about Marquese’s last movements that morning or about the black Dodge Charger and its occupants?
