Dontay D. Murray, 21, was fatally shot on June 5, 2016, in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood of Chicago. His death came during a year when the city recorded 764 homicides, a sharp rise from prior years, and around 90 percent of those homicides involved firearms.

The early summer of 2016 saw an alarming uptick in shootings, with reporting at the time linking the spike to increased gang conflicts, easy access to firearms, and deep social and economic problems in neighborhoods such as Greater Grand Crossing. Murray’s killing is described as one of many young victims whose deaths highlighted the city’s struggle to curb gun violence despite efforts by law enforcement and community groups.

Does anyone have information about Dontay Murray, where he spent his time, or the circumstances of the shooting?
