Cory H. Hughes, 28, was fatally shot in Chicago’s West Garfield Park neighborhood on August 8, 2016. He was found at the scene with gunshot wounds and died shortly afterward despite first responders’ efforts. The shooting occurred during a year when the city saw a large spike in killings and shootings, with over 760 homicides reported in 2016, and much of that violence concentrated in neighborhoods like West Garfield Park.

Community leaders and officials have been pushing for measures such as community policing and youth programs to address root causes of violence, but progress is described as slow and difficult.

If anyone knew Cory or has information about the August 8, 2016 shooting, please share what is known.
