Donta J. Lee, 29, was shot and killed on August 2, 2016, in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago. He was walking on the sidewalk in the 5200 block of West Gladys Avenue just after midnight when a gunman emerged from a white car and opened fire, fatally striking him.

Lee’s death occurred amid a sharp spike in gun violence across Chicago that summer. August 2016 was particularly deadly, and that month’s shootings contributed to the city’s highest annual homicide total in almost two decades, raising alarm in the community about escalating violence.
