Eric T. Jones, 23, was shot and killed in Chicago on November 1, 2015. His death was one of many that year during a surge in gun violence tied in the city to gang conflicts and easy access to illegal firearms.

Investigators faced obstacles common to many Chicago homicide inquiries in 2015, including witness reluctance and fears of retaliation that hampered progress and kept clearance rates low. Jones’ death illustrates both the personal toll on families and the broader public safety challenges the city confronted that year.
