Brandon Jones was 21 when he was shot and killed on January 9, 2017, on Chicago’s West Side. The shooting also wounded another person; Brandon was pronounced dead at the scene after police responded to reports of gunfire. He worked at Mariano’s and attended Lane Tech High School.

Friends and family remembered him as caring and someone who tried to put a smile on people’s faces. This killing is presented within the broader pattern of gun violence on the West Side that year and the community calls for more social supports, opportunities, and policing to address root causes.

Is there anyone who knew Brandon or who has information about the shooting?
