Deylion L. Spencer, 22, was fatally shot in the evening of October 10, 2017, in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood and was pronounced dead at the scene after emergency responders arrived.

The case is presented as part of a wider pattern of gun violence in Chicago that year; Spencer was one of many victims contributing to elevated homicide numbers in 2017. Englewood on the South Side is described as an area long affected by high rates of gun crime amid persistent challenges such as poverty and gang influence, and this killing was cited as another example of that ongoing crisis.

Few personal details about Deylion or the shooting circumstances are provided beyond the time, place, and manner of death.
