Corey Hill was 16 when he was fatally shot on June 7, 2017, in Chicago’s North Lawndale neighborhood. The attack occurred around 9:00 a.m. on the 1200 block of South Lawndale Avenue when a masked gunman exited a silver vehicle and fired multiple shots, fatally striking Corey and 15-year-old Jacquez Mack. Reports say a rifle was used, highlighting the presence of high-powered firearms in Chicago shootings at that time.

The case unfolded against a backdrop of persistent violence, limited law enforcement resources, and deep socio-economic problems in North Lawndale. Those conditions are described as complicating the investigation and contributing to a cycle of violence that claimed multiple young lives in 2017. If anyone knew Corey, Jacquez, or saw the shooting or the silver vehicle that morning, please share what you know.
