On December 16, 2017, 20-year-old Lakiya Iman Adams, a Black mother of one from Chicago, was sitting in a vehicle with an 18-year-old man in Englewood when a dark-colored Audi rolled past and someone opened fire. The shooting happened about 3:40 p.m. in the 5600 block of South Emerald Avenue. Adams was struck in the body and pronounced dead at the scene at 4:15 p.m. The young man with her suffered a leg wound and went to St. Bernard Hospital, where his condition stabilized.

Authorities publicly identified Adams more than a week after the killing; detectives opened a homicide investigation but reported no one in custody in the immediate aftermath. The only description released then was the passing vehicle, a dark-colored Audi, and no suspects were named. If anyone knew Lakiya, was in that part of Englewood that afternoon, or saw a dark Audi, please share what can help investigators.
