Deandre J Banks was 16 when he was shot and killed in Chicago on October 29, 2016. His death occurred amid a sharp rise in fatal shootings across the city that year, a period that saw over 700 homicides and a disproportionate number of teenage and young adult victims.

Banks’ killing is described as part of a broader pattern of violence affecting neighborhoods already struggling with gang conflict, economic hardship, and systemic challenges. His family and community were left grieving as the city confronted one of its deadliest stretches in decades.

If anyone knew Deandre, his movements that day, or has information that could help the case, please come forward.
