On February 19, 2023, a vehicle carrying a family was shot on the I-57 expressway near 116th Street in the Morgan Park neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. The car, struck by numerous bullets, left the highway and came to a stop near the top of the 111th Street exit ramp. Two people were found dead at the scene: 19-year-old Nasir Hall and 13-year-old William Smith. A-mara Hall, a 1-year-old who was Nasir Hall’s daughter, was taken to a hospital with other victims but later died of her injuries. Three other people, including the driver and two juveniles, were also hospitalized with gunshot wounds.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the three fatalities as Nasir Hall, William Smith, and A-mara Hall. William Smith was an eighth-grader at the Montessori School of Englewood and was related to the other victims. After an investigation, 20-year-old Sean Richardson was identified as the suspect; he was taken into custody on unrelated charges August 19, 2024, and has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of attempted first-degree murder. He is being held at Cook County Jail awaiting his first court appearance.

What information might help reconstruct the events on I-57 that night, or did anyone in the area see the vehicle before or after the shooting?
