Brandon J. Cathey, 24, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of August 26, 2017, on Chicago’s South Side. He was struck multiple times, taken to a hospital, and died of his injuries. The shooting occurred during a particularly violent weekend that saw multiple shootings across the city.

Investigators faced difficulty moving the case forward because limited witness cooperation hindered evidence gathering. Brandon’s death was one of many that year tied to the city’s broader gun violence crisis, underscoring calls for more effective community interventions to address underlying causes.

If anyone has information about Brandon’s shooting or remembers details from that night, please share them with the Chicago police.
