Kevin M. Wilson was 28 when he was shot and killed on October 31, 2016, in Chicago’s Gresham neighborhood on the South Side. The shooting happened near the 7900 block of South Laflin Street when an unidentified person approached and opened fire. Wilson suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center.

His death occurred amid a severe spike in Chicago homicides in 2016, a year that saw over 760 killings citywide, and the account links the violence in Gresham to broader problems with gang activity and community conflict. Kevin’s family, friends, and neighbors were deeply affected by the loss.

If anyone knew Kevin or was in that area on October 31, 2016, any information could help piece together what happened that night.
