Johnson Liggins Jr., 17, was shot and killed on October 23, 2017, on the Far South Side of Chicago, just blocks from his home. Two men approached him and one opened fire, striking him in the head and chest. The attack was sudden; despite some investigative leads the suspects have not been apprehended.

Known by the nickname John John, Liggins played in his high school band and reportedly hoped to become a politician. Friends and family remembered him for a positive attitude and ambitions to help his community. His death was one among many in Chicago’s 2017 surge of gun violence that disproportionately affected young Black men.

Does anyone who knew Johnson or was in that neighborhood on October 23, 2017 have information that could help investigators?
