Pierre L Payne, 32, was fatally shot on April 15, 2016, in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood. The killing occurred during 2016, a year when Chicago recorded a large increase in homicides, and Payne’s case remained unresolved with no arrests reported.

Englewood is described as a community contending with high rates of violence; the broader spike in 2016 homicides has been linked in reports to increases in gang-related conflicts and illegal firearms. Payne’s death is presented as one of many that year illustrating how gun violence affected individuals and families across the city.
