Rolan T. Johnson, 36, was fatally shot in Chicago on March 11, 2017. His death is recorded in the National Gun Violence Memorial and is mentioned as part of a wider surge of shootings and homicides that affected the city beginning in 2016.

Reports link that period’s violence to broader social problems including poverty, gang activity, and limited economic opportunities, especially on Chicago’s South and West Sides. Johnson’s death is one of many cited when advocates, community groups, and researchers call for interventions to address the root causes of gun violence.
