Gene Gordon, 78, was fatally shot on June 15, 2017, while walking near 68th Street and Hermitage Avenue in Chicago’s West Englewood neighborhood. The late-afternoon attack was a drive-by shooting; someone in a passing vehicle opened fire and Gordon was hit. He was taken to a hospital but died of his injuries.

Police believe Gordon was not the intended target and was an innocent bystander. Neighbors and family remembered him as a well-liked longtime resident, and his death prompted renewed concern about public safety in a neighborhood affected by high rates of violence.

Does anyone who lived in West Englewood at the time or who knew Gene have information that could help piece together what happened that afternoon?
