Evette West was a one-month-old infant who died on September 18, 2016, in Chicago’s South Chicago neighborhood. The Cook County medical examiner’s office ruled her death a homicide resulting from child abuse.

Her death occurred amid a year when Chicago saw a large increase in violent deaths; while much of that rise involved gang-related shootings, Evette’s case drew attention to domestic and familial violence and the particular risks faced by very young children in unstable environments. The case prompted calls for better support for young parents and stronger preventive social services to protect at-risk families.

Does anyone have information about Evette or the circumstances that led to her death?
