On the morning of April 25, 2017, 18-year-old Darlis Nkolomoni was fatally shot in Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood. The shooting happened around 7 a.m. in the 1400 block of West Jonquil Terrace, a short distance from the apartment he shared with his mother, sister, and grandmother. Witnesses said Darlis was chased by another male when gunfire erupted; he suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Darlis had emigrated with his family from the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1999 and was studying for his GED at Truman College. Police identified a suspect and showed surveillance footage to Darlis’s mother, Chantal Mulumba, which detectives interpreted as showing Darlis exchanging gunfire before being pursued and shot. Mulumba disagreed that the video showed her son firing a weapon. The suspect claimed self-defense and, with no witnesses to contradict that account, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office declined to file charges for lack of sufficient evidence.

Does anyone have information about Darlis, his movements that morning, or witnesses to the chase or shooting?
