Perry L. Stroger, 48, was shot and killed on September 21, 2017, on Chicago’s South Side in a residential neighborhood.

Stroger’s death occurred during a year when Chicago recorded over 600 homicides and many neighborhoods experienced spikes in shootings and violent incidents. Reports from that period noted concentrations of homicides in areas affected by gang activity, economic hardship, and the availability of illegal firearms. Investigations in some cases were hampered by limited witness cooperation and insufficient evidence.

Anyone with information about Perry Stroger or the September 21, 2017 shooting is asked to come forward.
