James E. Hooks, 38, was shot and killed in Chicago on May 17, 2016. His death came during a year that saw a sharp increase in gun violence across the city, with hundreds of homicides recorded in 2016.

The case is one of many from that period where investigations were hampered by a lack of witnesses or clear leads, leaving family and community without answers. Little else is reported about the circumstances of the shooting or any suspect descriptions.

If anyone knew James, was in the area that day, or has information about what happened on May 17, 2016, please come forward.
