Enrique Morales was 22 when he was shot and killed in Chicago on September 5, 2016. His death occurred amid an especially violent year for the city, when homicides surged past 760 and nearly 90 percent of killings were gun-related.

The broader context noted at the time included a rise in gang-related disputes and the widespread availability of illegal firearms. Observers also connected the increase in violence to changes in policing tactics and persistent social issues such as unemployment and economic disparity that affected many neighborhoods.

Enrique’s family joined countless others in Chicago left grieving by that year’s relentless pace of gun violence. If anyone has information about Enrique, his last movements, or the shooting on September 5, please come forward.
