Lawrence Campbell, 22, was fatally shot in Chicago on February 14, 2016. The killing occurred during a year when the city’s homicide rate rose sharply, with violence concentrated on the South and West Sides and driven in part by gang activity and the availability of illegal firearms.

Lawrence’s death happened in a neighborhood already coping with high levels of violent crime and the broader social problems—inequality, limited economic opportunities, and entrenched gang conflicts—that were linked to that surge. Community and law enforcement efforts to curb illegal guns and violence continued, but the shooting underscores how difficult those efforts were amid the city’s larger challenges.

Did anyone in Chicago’s South or West Sides remember Lawrence or have information about the shooting?
