Ronnie E. Hutchen, 28, was killed on August 2, 2016, in the Austin neighborhood on Chicago’s west side. Known locally as Dimple, Hutchen was fatally stabbed in the chest. He was a member of the Traveling Vice Lords, a gang active in the area.

His death came during a surge of violence in August 2016, a month that produced a sharp spike in Chicago homicides and was described as the bloodiest month the city had seen in nearly 20 years. The Austin neighborhood has long faced high rates of crime and gang-related activity, and Hutchen’s killing was part of a broader pattern of violence tied to conflicts among rival groups.

If anyone knew Hutchen, his movements that day, or has information about the stabbing, please share it with investigators.
