On the evening of June 30, 2017, 30-year-old Javon Jackson was fatally shot while sitting on the porch of a residence in the 5700 block of South Wells Street in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago. Two assailants approached and opened fire; Jackson suffered eight gunshot wounds and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead that night.

The attack also killed two other men: Sedrick Ringer, 50, who was on the porch and suffered nine gunshot wounds, and John Hunter, 52, who was inside the house and struck by a stray bullet and whose body was found two days later by family members. Investigators recovered 43 shell casings outside the residence from three calibers. Officers say suspects Timothy Gordon, 19, and Jayton Dorsey, 21, fled on foot, entered a white Pontiac Grand Prix, led police on a high-speed chase, crashed, discarded firearms and were captured; ballistics linked the recovered guns to the scene. A judge denied bail for both defendants, calling the shootings acts of horror and terror.

Anyone with information about what happened on South Wells Street that night is asked to come forward.
