Tyree B. Grant, a 23-year-old Chicago resident, was shot and killed on March 19, 2016. The killing occurred during a year marked by a surge in homicides in Chicago, with gun violence hitting many neighborhoods on the South and West Sides and affecting both young adults and teenagers.

Grant’s death became part of that grim 2016 tally as community leaders and grassroots groups emphasized the need for systemic interventions. Local responses called for more education, economic opportunities, and changes in policing strategies to address poverty, gang conflicts, and other conditions that community members said were fueling the cycle of violence.
