Ramon X. Williams, 37, was fatally shot on November 8, 2017, in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago. His killing was one of many gun homicides that year, when more than 600 people in the city died from gunshot wounds and over 92% of homicides involved firearms.

Austin was among the neighborhoods hit hardest by gun violence in 2017, a year that also saw a low homicide clearance rate with more than 500 unsolved cases and many incidents not resulting in charges. Williams’s death is described as part of that broader pattern of violence and the difficulties the city faced in bringing perpetrators to account.

Did anyone living in Austin at the time or with information about the November 8, 2017 shooting come forward with details that could help clarify what happened?
