Demarco V. Kennedy, 32, was shot and killed inside his home in Chicago’s Rosemoor neighborhood on August 9, 2016. Reports say he was struck by a stray bullet while inside his own residence—a death described by some as a freak accident amid widespread violence on the city’s South Side that year.

Kennedy’s killing occurred during 2016, when Chicago recorded a sharp rise in homicides—more than 750 for the year. Commentators at the time linked the spike to several systemic factors cited in public discussion: reductions in stop-and-frisk policing after an ACLU consent decree, fallout from the Laquan McDonald video that altered policing practices, and cuts to state-funded violence prevention and community programs caused by a budget impasse. Those combined forces were said to have left many neighborhoods with fewer supports and strained police-community relations.

Does anyone have information about Kennedy, his neighborhood, or the circumstances of the shooting?
