Twelve-year-old Kanari Gentry-Bowers was struck by a stray bullet while playing at a school playground in the Washington Park neighborhood of Chicago on the night of February 11, 2017. She was taken to Stroger Hospital and remained on life support for four days before she died. The shooting happened on a Saturday night amid a wider surge of violence that increasingly left young children among the casualties in the city.

The community responded with grief and frustration at another life lost to gunfire and at the ongoing vulnerability of children in troubled neighborhoods. Does anyone have information about that evening or remember how the neighborhood responded in the days after her shooting?
