Kelvin Lee, 37, was fatally shot inside a Rogers Park residence in Chicago on March 3, 2023. Police responded to a report of a person shot in the 7500 block of North Damen Avenue at about 8:51 p.m.; officers found Lee unresponsive and he later died at St. Francis Hospital from a gunshot wound to the head.

Family members say Lee had just finalized plans to join the family business and had video-chatted with his uncle Anthony Jones earlier that evening to arrange a train ticket to Champaign. Witnesses reported Lee had gone to visit a friend; a neighbor, Jessica Bernardi, heard shots and saw someone fleeing down the stairs. Police have identified a person of interest and took a woman who was inside the residence in for questioning, but no charges have been announced and the circumstances remain under investigation.

A memorial with balloons and candles was placed outside the building near Birchwood and Damen Avenue as family and community members mourn. If anyone saw or heard anything on the evening of March 3, 2023, that could help investigators, please come forward.
