Two brothers, ages 14 and 15, were fatally shot in Chicago’s Harrison district on June 17, 2023. Timothy Lockhart, 14, was struck multiple times and died at Stroger Hospital the same day. Jaylan Lockhart, 15, suffered a gunshot wound to the head and died three days later on June 20, 2023, also at Stroger Hospital. The shooting occurred in the 100 block of South Homan Avenue near Garfield Park at about 4:45 p.m. on a Saturday.

The weekend of the killings was unusually violent across the city; at least 75 people were shot and 14 were killed over the Father’s Day and Juneteenth period. The Harrison district recorded 15 people shot and five fatalities that weekend. Interim Superintendent Fred Waller attributed much of the district’s violence to drug-related activity and rival gangs. Community members and activists have called for justice for the family. No arrests or suspect updates have been reported and the investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone in the neighborhood knew the brothers or saw activity near South Homan Avenue that afternoon, please share what might help the investigation.
