Diamond Woods, 21, was shot and killed on January 13, 2017, in the Austin neighborhood on Chicago’s West Side. The shooting happened during an argument, just ten days after his 21st birthday. His death was recorded in the city’s public safety data and is one of many gun violence fatalities from a year when homicides were especially high.

Community context in Austin is noted in accounts of the case: limited economic opportunity, gang activity, and scarce resources for young people are cited as factors linked to the neighborhood’s violence. Friends and family remember Diamond as funny and caring; online memorials describe him as someone who loved to dance and make people laugh.

Does anyone who knew Diamond or who was in Austin that day have information that could shed light on what happened?
