Tridell Parker, a 20-year-old African American man, was fatally shot in the early morning of November 13, 2016, outside a Mobil at 4804 W. Madison Street in Chicago’s South Austin neighborhood. Responding officers found him at 1:59 a.m. with multiple gunshot wounds to the abdomen and chest; he was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead at 2:37 a.m. Parker sustained a total of 12 gunshot wounds to his back, hip, chest, right knee, and both arms after an exchange between his group and a vehicle that arrived with three occupants.

Investigators identified 26-year-old Tavarus Johnson as the suspect. Johnson’s fingerprint was recovered from the SUV under which Parker collapsed, and surveillance footage reportedly captured the shooting and Johnson’s contact with the vehicle. Johnson was taken into custody on April 3, 2018, and charged with first-degree murder; a judge denied bail at a subsequent hearing. Parker was described by acquaintances as always smiling, fun, and respectful. He lived in the Parkway Gardens neighborhood, attended Sherwood Elementary, and performed as a rapper affiliated with 6900 Redtape Wop.
