Naisha I Weems, 27, was killed on May 17, 2017, during a vehicular homicide on Chicago’s West Side in the Austin neighborhood. The incident began as an altercation between Weems and another woman, Kenya Washington, on North Latrobe Avenue. After a heated argument, Washington used her vehicle as a weapon, striking and dragging Weems beneath the car; Weems was later pronounced dead at Loyola University Medical Center.

A 23-year-old man was also injured and charged as an attempted murder victim in the same incident. Witnesses and nearby security cameras captured the act, and some bystanders filmed it; a warrant was issued and Washington was arrested and charged with murder and attempted murder in connection with the case. The attack drew large crowds as tensions escalated and left the community devastated.

Did anyone in the Austin neighborhood witness the confrontation or have information about what led up to it?
