Devante R. Norwood was 24 when he was killed in Chicago on October 13, 2016. His death occurred during a year that saw a sharp rise in homicides across the city, a period when Chicago recorded more than 750 murders and gun violence surged in many neighborhoods.

The killing took place in a neighborhood identified on the city’s Homicide Map as heavily impacted by gun violence. Reports link the broader pattern of 2016 shootings to entrenched problems such as poverty, gang activity, and under-resourced public services that complicated law enforcement efforts. Securing witness cooperation and solving cases like Devante’s proved difficult during that period.

Does anyone have information about Devante, where he spent time, or what happened on October 13, 2016?
