Carlos James Hemphill, 33, was fatally shot late the night of February 21, 2016, on the 8100 block of South Stewart Avenue in the Chatham neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. He was found after reports of gunfire and taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead the next morning.

Police reports described the shooting as believed to be gang-related and said shots came from a white or gray vehicle. Earlier that same day two other men, 23 and 24, were shot one block away and survived after hospital treatment, underscoring a cluster of violence in the immediate area.

Community members expressed frustration and sorrow at the escalating shootings in 2016, a year marked by a sharp rise in Chicago homicides. Does anyone who knew Carlos or who was in Chatham that night have information that could help explain what happened?
