Darmayah M. Smith was 16 when he was fatally shot on March 29, 2017, in the West Englewood neighborhood of Chicago. He was found with gunshot wounds in a shooting that added to a rising number of homicides involving young people in the city that year.

His death is one of several cited as part of a broader wave of gun violence in Chicago in 2017, which disproportionately affected teenagers and young adults in neighborhoods struggling with gang activity and poverty. Authorities continued efforts to curb the violence, but incidents like this underscored the difficulty of ensuring safety in vulnerable areas.

If anyone knew Darmayah or has information about the shooting, please come forward to help investigators.
