Be respectful. Abuse of these forums will not be tolerated.

Africa Bass was 23 and a mother of two when she was shot and killed in Chicago on July 27, 2016. She had just moved into a new apartment in the South Chicago neighborhood and was walking with her aunt shortly after midnight when she was struck in the back and chest. She was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead; the shooting happened on her son’s fifth birthday.

Authorities say she may have been caught in crossfire linked to gang-related violence. Her family and local activists have called for justice and for efforts to curb the neighborhood’s violence. Little else is publicly known about the investigation or any suspects.

If anyone knew Africa, remembers that night, or has information that could help, please share what you know with investigators.
