Tyrell Parks, a 30-year-old Black father of three from Chicago who was known to some as 1 Hell Rell, was fatally shot on the Far South Side in the fall of 2023. On the morning of Saturday, September 9, 2023, at about 8:04 a.m., he was inside a residence on the 12000 block of South Prairie Avenue in West Pullman with a 31-year-old woman when a known offender entered the home and opened fire. Both victims were struck multiple times and taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

The woman was admitted in critical condition; Parks was pronounced dead at the hospital and later identified by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office. Detectives described the investigation as domestic in nature. A person of interest was taken into custody for questioning shortly after the attack, and a defendant was later charged with first-degree murder; as of September 2023 the case was moving through the courts.

Does anyone have information about Tyrell, the residence on South Prairie Avenue, or the events that morning?
