Antwon Brooks, 42, was fatally shot on June 12, 2016, in Chicago’s Washington Heights neighborhood. A Calumet High School graduate, Brooks was a father of a son and a daughter in their twenties and was remembered by family and friends as someone who cared deeply for his children and maintained an enduring presence in his community.

His death came during a weekend of increased gun violence across the city and was one of many killings that contributed to Chicago’s surge in homicides in 2016. The loss underscores the continuing toll of gun violence in neighborhoods like Washington Heights and the broader social and resource challenges the city faced at that time.
