On October 14, 2016, 20-year-old Jermale Dontrell Richardson was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood. Richardson and another young man, Jamel Thomas, were targeted while outside in the South Austin area and both were pronounced dead at the scene.

The killing occurred during 2016’s sharp rise in Chicago homicides, a year marked by increased gang-related shootings and violence in neighborhoods such as Austin. The area has long struggled with gun crime and the shooting was one of several incidents that contributed to the city’s spike in homicides that year.

If anyone knew Jermale’s routines or saw activity in that part of Austin on October 14, 2016, any information could be helpful.
