Gregory D. Smith, 25, was shot and killed on October 17, 2016, in Chicago, Illinois. His death occurred during a year that saw a marked surge in gun violence across the city: 2016 recorded more than 760 homicides and drew intense attention to rising killings in multiple neighborhoods.

Reports place Smith among many victims whose deaths that year intensified debates about policing, community–law enforcement tensions, and what interventions might reduce lethal violence. Analyses at the time noted the scale of the problem and the strain on public resources and community support networks trying to respond.

Does anyone have information about Gregory Smith, where he lived or social networks in Chicago around October 2016?
