Oscar Carter, 30, was fatally shot on October 8, 2017, in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago. He was struck in a drive-by shooting when bullets were fired from a passing vehicle and died at the scene despite emergency response efforts. The killing occurred during a year when Chicago’s overall homicides had dipped slightly from 2016’s peak but gun violence remained a serious problem, with Austin repeatedly affected by gang activity and frequent shootings.

Friends and family remembered Carter as kind and caring and have called for safer streets and stronger measures to curb gun violence in hard-hit neighborhoods. Does anyone have information about Oscar Carter’s shooting or remember seeing anything in Austin on October 8, 2017?
