Paul Hamilton was 47 when he was fatally shot on September 5, 2016, in Chicago’s Ogden Park. The shooting also killed 24-year-old Devon Reavley; both deaths occurred during an incident that drew attention amid a citywide surge in homicides that year.

Hamilton’s death was recorded by community groups and local news outlets as part of efforts to document the spike in violence in 2016, a year that saw more than 750 homicides in Chicago. Reports linked that rise to strained community-police relations and a high prevalence of firearms in some neighborhoods. Family and friends publicly commemorated Hamilton through social media and community memorials, and his name appears on databases that compile homicide victims.

Does anyone have memories of Paul Hamilton, the incident at Ogden Park, or information that could help preserve his story?
