William Hair, 35, was shot and killed in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood on May 27, 2023. The killing occurred near Broadway and Surf at about 2:15 a.m. as Hair was walking a friend home from a nearby bar. Occupants of a vehicle approached, in what is believed to have been an attempted robbery; Hair’s friend tried to save him by performing CPR but Hair succumbed to his injuries.

Family members described the loss as senseless and said Hair was someone who forgave easily and was closely connected to his friends and community. The shooting was one of five people shot along a half-mile stretch of Broadway over a four-day period, though investigators do not believe those incidents are linked. Local officials expressed concern about public safety and police staffing levels in the 19th District.

Does anyone who knew William or was in Lakeview that night have information that could help investigators?
