Marcus J. Cameron, 22, was shot and killed in Chicago on January 31, 2017. His death occurred amid a broader surge of gun violence that left the city with a persistently high homicide total—higher than other major U.S. cities combined in that year—even after a slight decline from 2016.

Experts and local analyses linked the 2016–2017 rise in gun deaths to systemic problems: gang activity, ready access to firearms, and deep socio-economic challenges in many neighborhoods. City efforts included data-driven strategies and community programs, but neighborhoods facing poverty and disinvestment continued to suffer the worst of the violence.

Marcus’s killing is recorded among the incidents logged by the Chicago Police Department’s CLEAR system and reflected in citywide crime data. Does anyone have information about Marcus, where he lived, or what happened that night?
