Everick L. Coleman, 43, was fatally shot on August 7, 2016, while attending a birthday celebration in Chicago’s University Village neighborhood. The gathering, held in his honor, reportedly had about 200 people; shots were fired just after midnight. Coleman was struck in the head and chest and was pronounced dead at the scene. A 40-year-old woman was also injured in the shooting. No arrests were immediately made.

Coleman had worked as a security monitor at Oak Park and River Forest High School and was remembered by friends and colleagues for his positive influence there. His death was noted alongside a broader rise in shootings and homicides in Chicago during 2016, a year that deeply affected many communities.
