Jamayah Fields was 20 when she was fatally shot on January 23, 2017, in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood. The killing occurred near an elementary school and was one of three fatal shootings that day in a citywide wave of gun violence that left twelve others wounded.

A vigil held for Fields shortly after her death was itself attacked: six people were shot at that gathering in what was reported as an assault by a rival gang targeting an attendee. The two linked events underline how community efforts to mourn a victim can intersect with ongoing cycles of retaliatory violence.

Anyone with recollections of Fields, the scene near the school that day, or the vigil is asked to come forward with information that could help clarify what happened.
