Nineteen-year-old Jeremy Jacobs was fatally shot in the early hours of August 6, 2023, inside an apartment complex in the 2900 block of South State Street in Chicago. Jacobs was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Area Three detectives with the Chicago Police Department are handling the investigation. As of the latest update, no one is in custody and the case remains unsolved. The shooting has devastated Jacobs’ family, especially his mother, Monee Jacobs, who has made public pleas for answers and expressed frustration at what she describes as a lack of communication and progress in the investigation.

Monee Jacobs has also called on politicians to do more to address rising gun violence and to protect young people from becoming victims. Does anyone who lived near the 2900 block of South State Street or who might have information about that night have details to share with Area Three detectives?
