Frank M. Hill, 35, was fatally shot in Chicago on May 15, 2016. His death occurred during a year when the city experienced a sharp rise in homicides — 2016 recorded more than 760 killings, a figure that outpaced Los Angeles and New York City combined.

The homicide is described as part of a broader spike in violence tied in reports to gang activity, increased availability of firearms, and longstanding social challenges in some neighborhoods. The Chicago Police Department’s CLEAR system logged cases like Hill’s across the city as officers and community groups worked on targeted policing and prevention efforts amid an especially difficult year.

If anyone knew Frank Hill or has information about the shooting that could help investigators, please come forward.
