Charles Smith III was 22 when he was fatally shot on September 5, 2016, in Chicago’s East Garfield Park neighborhood. He and another 22-year-old, Dequan Trimble, were killed in the same mass shooting that wounded three other people. The attack occurred during a 21-hour stretch of violence in the city that saw 31 people shot, nine fatally.

No suspects have been publicly identified or apprehended in the deaths of Smith and Trimble, and the circumstances leading up to the shooting have not been disclosed. Friends and family remember Charles as loyal, funny and a real friend, and the community continues to mourn.

If anyone knew Charles, Dequan, or saw what happened that night, please come forward with any information that might help bring justice.
