Marshawn Hilson was 18 when he was shot and killed in Chicago early on June 29, 2016. The shooting occurred in the Marquette Park neighborhood on the Southwest Side, near the 6300 block of South Talman Avenue. Police reports say Hilson had exited a vehicle and approached a group of people when someone in that group produced a gun and opened fire, fatally wounding him.

The killing is described as part of a broader spike in gun-related homicides in Chicago during 2016, a year that disproportionately affected young people and hit neighborhoods already facing economic hardship and limited public safety resources.
