Seventeen-year-old Alvin Stoll was killed in a drive-by shooting on February 9, 2017, in Chicago’s Jefferson Park neighborhood. He and a friend were standing in an alley when a dark-colored vehicle pulled up and gunfire came from inside; Alvin was struck and later died. The shooting was one more fatal incident amid rising gun violence in the city at that time.

Alvin was remembered by his family for his sense of humor, love of music, and kind heart. The perpetrator has not been brought to justice and the family continues to mourn.

If anyone saw activity in the Jefferson Park alley that night or has information about the dark-colored vehicle, please come forward.
