Juliet Veronica Washington, 41, was killed in a drive-by shooting on June 28, 2017, in Chicago’s Washington Park neighborhood. She and another woman, Jeanine Dowell, were driving at about 10:30 p.m. when occupants of another vehicle opened fire. Their car then veered onto the sidewalk; several shell casings were found along the roadway. Both women were pronounced dead at the scene.

Police classified the incident as a double homicide. At the time of initial reporting there were no clear motives or identified suspects. Family members said Juliet had been helping someone by giving them a ride and could not have been involved in a conflict that led to the shooting. The killing was described as part of ongoing violence affecting Washington Park even amid broader shifts in the city’s homicide numbers.

If anyone was in Washington Park that night or has information about the shooting, please come forward to help Juliet’s family get answers.
