Rhonda L. Hughes, 40, was fatally shot on July 11, 2017, in the Washington Park neighborhood of Chicago. Her death occurred amid a year of widespread gun violence in the city: Chicago recorded over 600 homicides in 2017, down from 765 in 2016, but still alarmingly high.

The killing took place in a part of the city that had been experiencing elevated levels of violence, contributing to community concern and calls for improved safety. Public homicide data for Chicago often contains limited detail, and incidents in neighborhoods with low engagement and mistrust of police can be especially difficult to solve.

If anyone knew Rhonda Hughes or has information about the shooting on July 11, 2017, please come forward to assist with accountability.
