Willie D. Jones, 35, was fatally shot on May 15, 2016, in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood. He was found with fatal gunshot wounds during a year when the city’s homicide rate surged; 2016 saw over 760 people killed in Chicago, and Jones’s death was recorded amid that broader spike in gun violence. Family and friends remembered him as kind-hearted with a big personality and an infectious sense of humor.

Does anyone who knew Willie or who was in Austin on May 15, 2016, have information that could help clarify what happened?
