Deandre D. Holiday, 24, was killed in Chicago’s Grand Boulevard neighborhood in the early hours of January 1, 2016. His death was recorded as the city’s first homicide of what became a year marked by a sharp rise in gun violence, a year that saw over 760 homicides. Holiday’s killing occurred amid a wider pattern of shootings that disproportionately affected communities on Chicago’s South and West sides.

Holiday’s death added to the heavy toll felt by his family and friends and to the larger count of lives lost to violence in Chicago that year. If anyone has information about Deandre Holiday’s death or remembers events in Grand Boulevard on New Year’s Day 2016, please share what you know with investigators.
