Jordan Liggins, 18, known as BayBay, was shot and killed on June 13, 2016, while walking in the Englewood neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. He had survived two prior shootings as a teenager, in 2011 and 2012, but this midday attack proved fatal. Police initially suggested the shooting was gang-related, a characterization his family disputed and felt did not reflect who Jordan was.

Family described Jordan as a protective younger brother full of energy who loved baseball and drummed on buckets to earn money downtown. His death became part of a wider pattern during 2016, when homicides rose sharply in under-resourced neighborhoods like Englewood and community members faced long-standing gaps in trauma and mental health support. Photographer Jim Young included Jordan and his memorial in a project highlighting victims behind the statistics.

If anyone knew Jordan, his routines, or witnessed the shooting, please share information that could help his family and investigators.
