Roy Gill, 21, was shot and killed on December 25, 2016, in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood during a Christmas gathering. He and his 18-year-old brother James Gill were seated on a porch when multiple assailants opened fire; both brothers died and others at the gathering were wounded. Authorities described the attack as targeted and believe it was premeditated, but it was not clear whether the motive was gang-related or the result of a personal dispute.

The shooting occurred amid a severe surge of violence over the 2016 Christmas weekend, when the city recorded more than 60 shooting incidents and at least 11 fatalities. That year saw over 760 homicides in Chicago, intensifying focus on communities on the South Side already facing economic hardship and high levels of gun violence. Despite numerous witnesses, investigators faced difficulties identifying suspects, and the case remains unresolved.

If anyone has information about the shooting or remembers the scene on that porch in Englewood, please share what you know.
