Robert M. Warren, 25, was fatally shot on July 12, 2017, in the North Lawndale neighborhood of Chicago. Known by the nicknames Tada and Bank, he was remembered by family and friends as a loving and loyal provider and protector. Hundreds of candles were lit in his memory, reflecting the depth of grief in his community.

The killing occurred amid a year when Chicago continued to struggle with a high homicide rate, and the Chicago Police Department included Warren’s case in its 2017 homicide records drawn from the CLEAR system. Reports link ongoing violence in North Lawndale to persistent issues such as gang disputes and socio-economic disparities that community groups and law enforcement have identified as drivers of tragedy.

If anyone knew Robert, his routines, associates, or has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
