On July 10, 2023, about 10 p.m., 16-year-old Tyana Bosley was fatally shot in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago on the 7100 block of South Yates Boulevard. Tyana and her 32-year-old aunt were walking home from Tyana’s first summer job at Jimmy John’s on Michigan Avenue when two gunmen fired from a nearby empty lot. Both Tyana and her aunt were struck; Tyana was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and pronounced dead. Her aunt survived after surgery and was listed in good condition.

Tyana’s mother described her as a straight-A student at Gwendolyn Brooks College Prep Academy High School who loved singing gospel at church, swimming, volleyball, and sewing clothes for her Barbie dolls. Chicago police are investigating and searching for the two gunmen; no arrests have been announced. If anyone saw the shooting or knew Tyana’s movements that night, please share information with investigators.
