Ricky J. King, 37, was fatally shot in Chicago on November 27, 2016. His death occurred during a year when the city recorded over 700 homicides, a surge that the Chicago Police Department linked to conflicts between rival gangs and that disproportionately affected the South and West Sides.

King’s killing is presented as one of many that year tied to rising gun violence amid economic inequality and community tensions. The large number of homicides and unsolved cases from 2016 added to the strain on victims’ families and underscored the challenges facing Chicago leaders and law enforcement.

If anyone knew Ricky King or has information about the shooting on November 27, 2016, please come forward.
