On March 24, 2023, 32-year-old Jaleel Spencer was fatally shot in an alley in the 4700 block of South Michigan Avenue in Bronzeville on Chicago’s South Side. Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office report Spencer suffered gunshot wounds to the left leg and abdomen; he was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and pronounced dead. Authorities characterized the incident as domestic-related.

A person was taken into custody in connection with the shooting and charges were pending at the time of the report. Video of the encounter circulated widely on social media; the footage shows Spencer on the ground after being shot and a woman running back to a black sedan. Spencer’s mother, Fredrick Spencer, has publicly demanded justice and questioned why no charges have been filed against the perpetrator, calling on Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx to respond.

Family members say they are still seeking answers about the investigation and prosecutorial decisions. Does anyone have information about this case or about Jaleel’s last known movements in Bronzeville?
