Edwin Bryant was 17 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting on October 30, 2016, in the Old Town neighborhood of Chicago. He and his twin brother, Edward Bryant, were standing outside in the 1300 block of North Hudson Avenue at about 3:15 a.m. when a dark-colored car approached and multiple shots were fired. Both brothers were struck and died shortly after being transported to the hospital.

The deaths occurred during a weekend that left Chicago with 17 fatalities and many injuries, a surge that came as the city was hosting World Series games and police resources were spread across multiple areas. Edwin and Edward were juniors at Marshall High School after transferring from Lincoln Park High School earlier in their school careers; they were among the youngest victims that weekend. Their deaths were part of the year’s rising homicide toll that pushed the city past 600 killings.

Does anyone who knew Edwin or the Bryant twins have information about that night or their lives in the neighborhood?
