Joseph Gates, 29, was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting on Chicago’s South Side on October 31, 2017. Witness accounts say he was standing outside when a vehicle approached and shots were fired; Gates suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died on November 4, 2017. Reports describe the attack as targeted, but a motive has not been established.

Gates’ killing came during a violent period for the city, amid a rise in shootings in 2017 and persistent crime and socio-economic problems in several neighborhoods. Family and friends created a memorial page where they lit candles in his honor. Does anyone have information about Joseph Gates, where he spent his time, or the events of that night?
