On April 17, 2023, at about 12:10 a.m. in the 4900-block of South Calumet Avenue in Bronzeville, Chicago, 20-year-old Isaiah Samaniuk was shot during an attempted carjacking and later died at the University of Chicago Medical Center. Samaniuk was driving when two male suspects armed with handguns approached the vehicle and tried to take it; as the victims attempted to drive away, the attackers fired into the car. A 22-year-old female passenger was shot in the foot and treated at a hospital in good condition.

Nearby residents reacted with alarm, and the shooting was noted amid a broader rise in armed carjackings in Chicago, with hundreds reported in recent years.
