Jamari Richmond was 18 when he was shot and killed on May 14, 2017, while playing basketball in the 7300 block of South Union Avenue in Chicago. Police say the shooter fired from a vehicle driving north; Richmond was struck in the head and taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead at 5:06 p.m. He lived nearby, which made the loss particularly painful for the local community.

The shooting was one of six fatal shootings that weekend in Chicago, part of a wider surge in violence that year which disproportionately affected young people. If anyone was in that area that afternoon or has information about the vehicle or shooter, please come forward.
