William T Palmer, 32, was fatally shot in Chicago, Illinois, on June 4, 2016. His death occurred during a year that saw a marked rise in violence across the city, with more than 750 people killed in 2016. That surge in homicides was concentrated largely in impoverished neighborhoods on the South and West Sides and disproportionately affected African-American and Hispanic communities.

The reporting places Palmer among the majority of 2016 victims who were male, African American, and under 40, and notes that a substantial portion of Chicago homicides that year involved firearms. The wider effects of the violence included emotional and economic harm to neighborhoods already struggling with unemployment, poverty, and limited access to education and healthcare.

Does anyone have information about William Palmer, where he lived or who might have seen him in the days before June 4, 2016?
